Barry Gray was an American radio personality, often referred to as "the father of talk radio." His late-night New York City radio talk show was carried by WOR radio and then later by WMCA. 

Barry Gray returned to WMCA in 1950, and stayed there for 39 years, refining the talk show format still utilized today. During the 1960s, he was in the odd position of having an 11 p.m.-1 a.m. late-night talk show on a station otherwise dominated by Top 40 music and the youth-targeted "Good Guys" disc jockey campaign. But for teenagers who kept their radios on into the night, Gray's show was a window into the high-brow New York culture of the 1940s and 1950s.



Guest: American astronomer Robert Jastrow. (Part one).

October 15, 1973-January 28, 1982. 

This broadcast featured the first of four discussions about mental illness, broadcast on location at the Rockland Psychiatric Center in Orangeburg, New York. 

Tom Snyder interviews blind patient Pat Archer who discusses her life at Rockland the past 25 years, the drugs offered to her including Nervine, and her reason for being at Rockland Psychiatric Center. 
Patients  David Wolf and Bertha Clark discuss their need for rehabilitation and their views of the programs they are in and if they believe they have been effective... pros and cons and effects of medications consumed including Lithium.
 
Betty Oliver is interviewed. She has been at Rockland since 1942 and is now its director. She tells Tom what happens to patients when they leave an institutional setting and how they will adapt once on their own again. 

Billy Williams, Rockland Psychiatric Center coordinator for all the wards at the facility, talks about drug programs, need for greater trained staff and approach to communicating with patients. 

NOTE: This video taped broadcast was executed using an extreme "noisy" location environment creating certain interviews,  by Tom Snyder, not very pristine. Some of the interviews were conducted with great ambient sound in the background, rendering a less than desirable sound track, discernable, but not as professional as one would expect from a Tomorrow Show sound engineer.
 
Other segment interviews were done in  more quiet locations and produced much better sound fidelity. 


This broadcast was joined in progress. Only the opening of the program is missing, otherwise this audio air check is complete.

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.




Johnny's guests are John Davidson, Bobby Goldsboro, and Stan Kann. 60-minute excerpt.
