It's the Brian Larry Show on WNYC.

Good morning, everyone.

Thank you for your donations during the first hour of the show.

We have a goal of 100 donations to do our show's part for the second hour of the show. Keep them coming, but we're not going to dwell on it right now. Instead, again, this drive, we're doing a 10-question quiz each day, breaking it up a little bit during a membership drive to have a little fun, a different theme each day. Get two in a row right, and you'll be able to choose today

between a Brian Letter Show baseball hat

or those WNIC socks that we were talking about before.

Our theme here for today is broadcast news history.

So who wants to play?

You can call 212-433. WNYC will have 10 questions, mostly chronological, starting in

1945. Some of them will be name that voice question. Some will just be facts about broadcast news

history. Who wants to play? Dan in Hartsdale wants to play. Hey, Dan, ready to go?

I am. Okay. Probably the first real broadcast news icon became well known during and just after

World War II. It happened to be on the radio, not TV. Here's the beginning of one of his most

dramatic broadcasts, as he reported from a German

concentration camp after it was liberated in 1945. Who is speaking here? Permit me to tell you what

you would have seen and heard had you been with me on Thursday. It will not be pleasant listening.

If you're at lunch, or if you have no appetite to hear what

Germans have done, now is a good time to switch off the radio. For I propose to tell you of

Bougainval. So do you know who that was? I'm going to guess it's Ed Murrow. Absolutely, Edward

R. Murrow, first broadcast news icon, I think it's safe to say, and that is some archive tape that we

have from 1945.

Question two for the hat or the socks.
