Bob Hope's Beginnings in Radio

(Ed. Note:  The author was a TV script writer for Bob Hope from 1977 to 1992.)

From Bob Hope's very beginnings in radio, product association played an indispensable part in his career.   The first in a long list of products with which he would be associated over the years was Pepsodent toothpaste.  Following glowing reviews in Paramount's Big Broadcast of 1938, the makers of Pepsodent offered Hope his own radio show to replace their sponsorship of the popular Amos ‘n' Andy Show. Hope had wanted to get into radio ever since his first appearance on Rudy Vallee's Fleischmann's Yeast Hour earned him $700 for a two-minute interview.  This is my kind of business, he thought.

And prepare for it he did. Throughout the thirties, he appeared as a guest on radio shows including the Major Bowes Capitol Family Hour, the RKO Theater of the Air, the Bromo-Seltzer Intimate Hour and the CBS White Flash program sponsored by the Atlantic Oil Refining Company.  The offer from Pepsodent, which came as a result of his successful appearances on NBC's Woodbury Show with Frank Parker and the Shep Fields Orchestra, was his first real opportunity to host his own program.  He was off and running.

He assembled a crack staff of veteran radio writers that included Milt Josefsberg, Norman Sullivan, and Jack Douglas, an experienced announcer named Bill Goodwin, an orchestra leader, Skinnay Ennis — soon replaced by Les Brown — and a walrus-mustached, former trombonist named Jerry ("Greetings, Gate") Colonna. Over the next few years, the cast would be joined by Patricia (Honeychile) Wilder, the musical group Six Hits and a Miss, society debutants Brenda and Cobina (Blanche Stewart and Elvia Allman), and Barbara Jo Allen as Vera Vague.

The Pepsodent Show debuted on September 27, 1938 and had all the earmarks of a hit. Unexpectedly, it got off to a rocky start. "We really had no idea what we were doing," Hope admitted. He told us it took ten or twelve weeks of tinkering with the format before he was satisfied with the laughs he was getting from the studio audience, many of whom he personally corralled in the hall outside his studio as they emerged from The Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy Show.  Radio was in its infancy. There was, as yet, no reliable method of measuring listenership. Later, the Hooper Ratings and the Crosleys, audience sampling systems similar to today's Neilsen Media Research, would be used to set advertising rates.

But when Hope began, the Hoopers were still a few years away, and while he was satisfied with the reactions of his studio audiences, he wondered how he and his on-air gang were doing in the hinterlands. Whenever he approached executives at the ad-agency that represented Pepsodent, all he seemed to get was, "Don't worry about it, Bob. You're doing fine. Just keep doing what you've been doing." Somehow, he got the feeling they weren't leveling with him.

One day, after the show had been on for almost a year, he was approached by a man on an exclusive country club golf course who had been playing in the foursome ahead of him.  "Bob, I want to thank you,"  said the man. Hope, thinking he was a fan, thanked him.  "No," continued the man. "I want to thank you for making me a millionaire." Of course, Hope had no idea what he was talking about.  It seems the golfer had owned a small cardboard-box factory that serviced many clients — including Pepsodent.

"About six months ago," he explained, "Pepsodent doubled their orders, then a week later, tripled them. Eventually, I dropped my other customers and provided boxes for your sponsor exclusively. My company became so successful, I ended up selling it for a million dollars, thanks to you."  Hope was stunned. No one at Pepsodent's ad agency had mentioned such a large increase in their product sales. Completely by accident, Hope had stumbled onto an audience gauge as accurate as the Hoopers would later become.

Hope smiled wryly as he concluded his story. We all sat mesmerized.  "Well?" one of us asked, "what did you do then?"  "Let's just say," said Bob, "when contract renewal time came along, I negotiated one of the biggest goddamned raises in the history of radio."

The persuasive power of the mass media to sell products couldn't have been driven home more forcefully, and Hope never forgot the lesson he learned from it. Over the ensuing years, he would make sure that his name became aligned with major sponsors whose products he would hawk enthusiastically in countless TV commercials — a practice that,
early-on, some Hollywood stars of Hope's magnitude considered somehow degrading to their art. Later, of course, many of them would come around, lending their names to everything from beer to vacuum cleaners.

Along with Pepsodent, Hope's name would be linked with Chrysler and, later still, with Texaco, a relationship that culminated in 1974 in a five-year television production deal that netted Hope $4 million, a record at the time. In 1979, he filmed commercials for Coca-Cola on the Great Wall of China. In the mid-1980s, he received $3 million from Southwestern Bell Telephone for a series of TV spots for their Silver Pages that took him just three days to film. He appeared in numerous locally produced commercials for California Federal Savings & Loan, in which he was a major stockholder.  Fittingly, his final appearance on television, at age 95, was in a commercial for Kmart directed by Penny Marshall.

I heard the radio coming out of my vacuum cleaner.?

My hand held dirt devil can occasionally receive AM talk radio signals while it's running.

It is very easy for electronic components to pick up AM radio. Original radio receivers simply consisted of a thin wire (called a cat's whisker) resting against a crystal semiconductor.

When I was a kid, I had a directional microphone with a large parabolic reflector. I discovered that if you held the unit high up and away from your body, the circuitry would pick up radio signals. The child scientist in me immediately ran some tests to confirm that the radio was being picked up electronically (i.e. I made sure that I wasn't just listening to someone's radio down the street).

First, I confirmed that the signal was present no matter where I aimed the microphone. Then I removed the microphone and the sounds were still there.

Radio $101.96 Radio is the transmission of signals by modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible light. Electromagnetic radiation travels by means of oscillating electromagnetic fields that pass through the air and the vacuum of space. Information is carried by systematically changing (modulating) some property of the radiated waves, such as amplitude, frequency, or phase. When radio waves pass an electrical conductor, the oscillating fields induce an alternating current in the conductor. This can be detected and transformed into sound or other signals that carry information.

Transistor Radio $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A transistor radio is a small transistorbased radio receiver.Bell Laboratories demonstrated the first transistor on December 23, 1947.After obtaining patent protection, the company held a news conference on June 30, 1948, at which a prototype transistor radio was demonstrated. There are many claimants to the title of the first company to produce practical transistor radios, often incorrectly attributed to Sony (originally Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo). Texas Instruments had demonstrated alltransistor AM (amplitude modulation) radios as early as 1952, but their performance was well below that of equivalent vacuum tube models. A workable alltransistor radio was demonstrated in August 1953 at the Dsseldorf Radio Fair by the German firm Intermetall. It was built with four of Intermetalls handmade transistors, based upon the 1948 invention of Herbert Matar and Heinrich Welker However, as with the early Texas units (and others) only prototypes were ever built; it was never put into commercial production.

But, three years later in 1935, the station was granted a formal license, EAJ57, and the business became more serious. In 1966, the station became a part of a wider commercial association, La Voz del Mino. Pedro Arcas succeeded Ramon Puga at the helm.

Entertainment in Chrysler Radio

The world today people experience is very stressful. People of today know little about life and its pleasure. In 70's this was not the situation. People lived their life the way they wanted to live as their was no urgent situation or crisis situation that they have to fear about. The population was too less making them having the plenty of everything. But today the way people live their life without having even the little pleasure. But still people prefer their own ways of enjoying. There is nothing like having a drive in the cold mountains listening to the music you love. This was not available that time. The radio has indeed changed everything.

5. Radio as an entertainer:

The first came in the size of a television and now we see a much advanced one in the car. The first ones used vacuum pumps but the advancement in the radio is due to the improvements in the field of electronics. They have changed many things in human life. There are both meritorious and disadvantageous part associated with the radio. It the only source of entertainment to the car drivers. And important news can be spread to them more fast than any other method. Without the radio the driving will be stressful and unimaginable.

Chrysler radio:

Radio is found to be the one thing that is most needed in the driving car. But most of the radios form a head ache for the car owners. The most is faced by the owner of the Chrysler. People who own this car has the all advantage of a car except for this one disadvantage. The disadvantage with the Chrysler radio are:

•Sound clarity with the inbuilt radio is not the expected level.
•They fail more often than the other radios.
•Replacement of the same brand is more tedious and not available with all.

The remedy for this is to go in for after market radios.
These things have to be done the professional way. The demerits of it when we go in the non professional way are:

•The whole system gets flawed and as a result we have to change the whole set which is too costly.
•The car internal might get damaged which may result in a note of bad look among the interiors.
•The most disadvantageous note will be the struck up of unrecoverable state to the car. This is a worst case this occurs rarely.

The things that has to be done:

•Go in for adapters that makes the casing proper fit for the size of the radio.
•Can also go in for auto radio blend option which is a most accepted option.
•Interference system can also be used to implement the necessary.
•The best professional work has to be done so go in for best providers.

Different methods has different advantageous. When going in for auto radio blend option the perfect fit can be got. This is nothing but blending the wire input that is got from the car and other additional socket will be available with the blender which converts the input signal into necessary output signal so that it can be blended with the radio that is to be used. The added advantage is interchangeability. This thing is the important requirement that is expected by all the users. This helper will provide the necessary to make it adaptable with any radio.

Mounting methods can be made easy on following the methods that is said above. Mounting has to be perfect and as should keep to the necessary accuracy so that it doesn't affect the aesthetics of the car. The interior of the car has to be taken into consideration before placing the radio. According to the requirement of the user it changes itself to the environment.
