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.

Topic: Barry Gray discusses the virtue of the Academy Awards with guests David Susskind, Celeste Holme, Abby Mann and others.

A five days a week (9 AM to 9:30 AM) children's program presented live and hosted by Paul Tripp. Each day, a boy or girl's birthday would be celebrated along with their friends.

A daily diversion that offers the thrill of anticipation, excitement, and variety all designed to keep the nursery set occupied and amused each weekday morning.  

Paul Tripp often referred to as the "Pied Piper" of early children's television, created the musical fantasy "Tubby The Tuba" in 1945 and appeared on his own show "Mr. I. Magination," which aired on CBS television from 1949-1952. On this children's program, Tripp appeared as a train engineer. 
Tripp along with his wife, Ruth Enders Tripp, co-hosted a TV news magazine for teenagers titled "On The Carousel" on Saturday mornings. The program ran from June 5th, 1955- September 26th, 1959 and was seen on CBS-TV.

In 1944, the year his first record was released, Perry Como appeared on radio in The Chesterfield Supper Club; when that show came to television late in 1948, Como came with it, and has remained on television for more than four decades. The Chesterfield Supper Club, which also featured The Mitchell Ayres Orchestra and the Fontane Sisters, was originally seen on Friday nights but soon shifted to a half-hour slot on Sundays, opposite Ed Sullivan's "Toast Of The Town." In the fall of 1950, Como shifted to CBS where he hosted his own show for the next five seasons; the fifteen-minute program was seen Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, following the network news. Also featured were the Mitchell Ayres Orchestra and The Fontane Sisters, together with announcer Frank Gallop. In the fall of 1955 Como returned to NBC, where he hosted a weekly hour show for the next eight years; from 1955 to 1959 it was seen Saturdays and was titled The Perry Como Show. From 1959 to 1963 it was seen on Wednesdays and was titled The Kraft Music Hall. The Mitchell Ayres Orchestra and Frank Gallop were again featured, along with The Ray Charles Singers and The Louis DaPron Dancers (later, The Peter Gennaro Dancers). The Como Music Hall Players included Don Adams, Paul Lynde, Kaye Ballard, Jack Duffy, and Sandy Stewart.

The weather report with Carol Reed, the local weather girl on WCBS-TV Channel 2 in New York City. She would always end her weather reports by saying "Have a Happy,"  most appropriately signing off on each December 31st. 

Archival Television Audio, Inc. has only one brief archived example of Carol Reed wheatear forecasting  on WCBS television. This rare 35 second opening is all that exists in any known archive in the country. The broadcast opens with the announcer introducing the program:

" Greyhound presents Carol Reed with the Late Weather."
 After Carol Reed says "good evening to her television viewers, she states that currently there is a rapid decline in temperature in the New York area. 

Carol Reed had a long run on WCBS TV News as the "weather girl" form 1952 to her final regularly scheduled early evening report (7:10-7:15 PM, and briefly 7:25-7:30 PM) and late evening report (11:15 - 11:20 PM) September 20, 1963. 

NOTE:

  Carol Reed (1925 or 1926 – June 4, 1970), always introduced as "Carol Reed, the weather girl", presented the weather portion of the evening newscasts on WCBS-TV in New York City from 1952 to 1963/1964. Not trained in meteorology, she nevertheless proved popular with viewers because of her cheerful demeanor and her characteristic signoff, "Good night and have a happy!" In 1958, she gained national recognition, as the commercial spokesperson for Nabisco.

After her run on channel 2 ended, she hosted a radio show on WCBS (AM) prior to its changeover to a current all-news format.

She died of cancer on June 4, 1970, in Mamaroneck, New York at age 44.

For decades WCBS‐TV News was aired as a 15 minute broadcast. The first 10 minutes dealt with the local news and the final 5 minutes focused strictly on the weather, as a weather program. 

It was the end of a television era soon to be realized by all local NYC channels, in 1963 & 1964, when a specific five minute weather broadcast entity of its own would be telecast. News would take priority, and the weather would be incorporated within the news, it getting as little or as much time as it merited.

12 years of Carol Reed broadcasting the weather is almost not extant in any form, kinescope or videotape. 
                                                                              

Barry Farber was an American conservative radio talk show host. He produced the Tex and Jinx radio program which starred Tex McCrary and Jinx Falkenberg.

He was ranked the ninth greatest talk show host of all time by Talkers Magazine. He joined WOR radio in 1962 after a stint at 1010 WINS radio in New York City. When Farber left WOR radio he joined WMCA radio in New York City for an afternoon drive time show that lasted until 1989 when WMCA changed its format to a Christian radio station. 

Barry Farber interviews William Fugazy. Fugazy comments on the current deplorable racket-ridden state of professional boxing. Also, Laura Berkowitz reports on her trip to Castro's Cuba.
