Re: First radio network broadcast

["Kevin Vahey" <kvahey@tmail.com>]

Another claim I am trying to pin down. The late beloved Sherm Feller 
claimed that he orginated the FIRST network talk show in the early 
1940's and it was from Boston. In theory that seems unlikely, but having 
had the great pleasure of knowing Sherman the last few years of his 
life, I can not discount it either. He certainly was one of the great 
characters in Boston radio history
