AV_549-THE_MAGIC_DAY Frank Morrow movies alternative_views newsandpublicaffairs A snapshot of May 9, 1951 is shown, revealing how different the world is today from what it was over four decades ago. The medium though which this is presented is "Central Day" on KVOO, the annual day during which the Tulsa Central high school students took over all the production duties of the most powerful radio station in town. Because this was during the last days of the "Golden Days of Radio" when stations had large staffs which produce their own local programs of a wide variety of types, the students performed all the announcing, news and sportscasting, and writing, as well as performing in all the programs emphasizing music, drama, comedy, and variety. Each news and sports story and every commercial indicate how the world has changed in retrospect. It also shows how very talented the students were.
