TEX AND JINX Radio & Television BROADCAST HISTORY: April 22, 1946- February 27, 1959. WEAF (WNBC, WRCA), New York weekdays at 8:30 A.M. until 1954; at 1:00pm,1954-1955; then at 6:30 and 10:35pm until July 31, 1958, moving briefly to WOR, broadcasting at 2:15pm. In addition to the Kollmars (Dorothy Kilgallen and husband Richard Kollmar) and the Fitzgeralds (Pegeen and husband Ed Fitzgerald), another well-recognized New York couple, newlyweds Tex McCrary and Jinx Falkenburg, added their own bread-and-bacon banter to the local airwaves between 1946 and 1959. Their gabfest, initially Hi Jinx but later revised to Tex and Jinx, was beamed over WEAF which was subsequently re-lettered WNBC and later WRCA. In limited doses, the flagship outlet of the National Broadcasting Company transmitted Meet Tex and Jinx to the whole country during 1947 and 1948. Tex and Jinx devoted most of their airtime to lofty and noble concepts, visitors and sidebars. Tex and Jinx [on WEAF-WNBC-WRCA] were interviewing Bernard Baruch, Margaret Truman, or Ethel Waters…. McCrary built the show on the assumption that the early morning audience was not stupid, as programmers generally assumed; that people in general had fresher minds and were more open to serious topics at the beginning of the day.” Their joint radio venture began in April 1946 just 10 months following their nuptials (June 10, 1945). Launched as a breakfast feature, the series later shifted to afternoons and finally into the evening hours before departing the ether a dozen years afterward. They were branded by one journalist “Mr. Brains and Mrs. Beauty.” In early 1947 NBC put them on its television network as a portion of a Sunday evening quarter-hour dubbed Bristol-Myers Tele-Varieties. “The McCrarys were naturals for TV,” wrote a reviewer, “with their combination of friendly chatter, interviews, and features.” That summer the web awarded them an exclusive Sunday night half-hour format under the appellation At Home with Tex and Jinx. A decade later, in the 1957-58 season, the duo hosted a daytime NBC-TV showcase, The Tex and Jinx Show. When hepatitis sidetracked Falkenburg in 1958 from their broadcast commitments, McCrary carried on solo on their radio show for another couple of years. In the 1980s, however, the couple separated, remaining on genial terms. McCrary died in New York on July 29, 2003 and Falkenburg expired just 29 days later in the same city, on August 27, 2003. NOTE:: The scores of TEX AND JINX SHOWS archived by Archival Television Audio, Inc. were originally obtained as original 16" Electronic Discs from Barry Farber, producer of the show (1957-1959), in 1960 after he had begun his own career in front of the mike at WINS Radio. These discs were subsequently transferred to 1/4" reel to reel tape, and then disposed. These broadcasts are rare and represent the largest known collection of TEX AND JINX extant broadcasts in the world.

February 11, 1961 - April 19, 1961 A 12-part series produced for the National Educational Television & Radio Center by KRMA-TV, Denver Colorado. The Ragtime Era with host Max Morath, who at the age of 32 is the ideal spokesman. He holds forth at an elegant pianoforte, singing and playing in a lively, authentic style. He' a close student of the period when America's popular music developed, and he sparks the narrative segments with anecdote and erudition that is as bright as the music. Musical comedies broke away from the Viennese operetta in the Ragtime Era, and Mr. Morath spends this program telling about the ancestors of Naughty Marietta, and, later, Oklahoma! and Carousel. Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and Cole Porter gained their starts from the impetus of the musical comedies, vaudeville shows and extravaganzas of the Ragtime Era. Episodes in this series cover American pop music from the 1890's to 1920. Included are broadcasts focusing on the Blues, Ragtime, Musical Comedy, Tin Pan Alley, the Mauve Decade, Those Singin' Songs, Movie Music, the Song Pluggers, Tempos of the Time, and the songs made popular during World War 1. From radio to television to national fame as a performer, Max Morath became the recognized purveyor of music and popular culture of the ragtime era. That is the way most people remember Max Morath as “Mr. Ragtime.” In 1959, his epic 12-episode TV series The Ragtime Era, was the first modern educational documentary at KRMA-TV in Denver that both entertained and informed. It ushered in a field now produced by modern documentarians like Ken Burns at Florentine Films. Max wrote, hosted, and performed each 30-minute episode live in one-take and followed that series with other TV projects. He pioneered educational television with his producer Moss Hall and this series helped move the transition from National Educational Television (NET) to the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). Archival Television Audio, Inc. has preserved in its archive ten of the twelve part series. Missing is the sixth broadcast in the series,"The Yankee Doodle Boy," and the ninth broadcast in the series, "Emancipation of Women: New Music of the 20's" With “The Ragtime Era” National Educational Television brings viewers one of the most delightful, and at the same time informative series ever produced. But “The Ragtime Era” is more than a recreation of the music from 1890 to 1920. It is also a careful study of American social history between 1890 and 1920, a period which saw the beginning of the labor movement, modern technical achievements, feminism, the growing importance of Negroes and immigrants. It was a period of activity, unrest, gaiety and real distress. And, finally, “The Ragtime Era” provides the audience with some sound and at the same time uncomplicated, musical theory and analysis. To do all of this KRMA-TV, the Denver affiliate of NET, has drawn on the services of singer-pianist-musician Max Morath, who combines with his performances of ragtime classics a presentation of the pictures, stage sets, and other paraphernalia of “The Ragtime Era.” Episodes: Episode #1: The Mauve Decade Episode #2: Any Rags Today Episode #3: Lonesome Road Episode #4: Those Real Singin’ Songs Episode #5: More Music than Comedy Episode #6: The Yankee Doodle Boy Episode #7: Tin Pan Alley Episode #8: Tin Pan Alley Also Ran Episode #9: June, Moon, and Spoon (New Music of the '20s) Episode #10: The Tempos of Our Time Episode #11: Feet First Episode #12: The Great War1963-06-23, CBS, min.
