JACK STERLING was a radio host WCBS Radio in New York for 18 years. BEFORE THERE WAS NEWSRADIO88......there was just WCBS, and its early morning star in the late 1940s through the mid-60s was Jack Sterling, who landed at the CBS flagship in 1948 after a gig as program director of WBBM in Chicago. Sterling was hired to replace Arthur Godfrey, whose expanded broadcast commitments not only included network radio but television as well. If the CBS brass at the time wanted a Godfrey sound-alike they found one in Jack Sterling, whose folksy, furry style came close to matching Godfrey's -- despite Sterling's pencil-thin mustache. For local radio Sterling's show was Big Time. He had writers, did monologues, utilized a studio band, and sometimes even played records. This book is supposed to reflect "A Day in the Life" of the star. PLEASE USE ZOOM FUNCTION ON ALL PHOTOS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.
