A RARE air check of Murray the K Kaufman anchoring the news on WINS NEWS CENTER ON THE AIR with Kaufman standing news watch. 

Highlights: Russians launched unmanned space ship, Governor Rockefeller will stay away from the 1960 Republican convention, has his eye on 1964, Eisenhower on route to Paris for summit talks with Khrushchev, Cuba accuses the US of aggression against Cuba. 

Live from 1010 WINS radio in New York City.    

 NOTE: 
      Kaufman's big break came in 1958 after he moved to WINS/1010 to do the all-night show, which he titled The Swingin' Soiree. Shortly after his arrival, WINS's high energy star disk jockey, Alan Freed, was indicted for tax evasion and forced off the air. Though Freed's spot was briefly occupied by Bruce Morrow, who later became known as Cousin Brucie on WABC, Murray was soon moved into the 7–11 pm time period and remained there for the next seven years,

Heard, is Murray the K Kaufman spinning a disc and taking a phone call from a listener who wins a "submarine race watcher's sweater." Murray the K asks if he likes to listen to the Oldies or New Records. The caller states "both," and  requests Kaufman send him his "language book."   Next up Murray the K  plays the latest record by The Chantels.

NOTE: This rare 1010 WINS Radio Special Report audio air check contains only the opening 20 minutes of this 55 minute broadcast.  Occasional  slight static heard during the original transmission.                                                                                                                          

"Rock N' Roll: The New Loud Sound From Tin Pan Alley," is the topic with guests William B. Williams, Murray "The K" Kaufman, 17 year old Lesley Gore, Bobby Vinton, Goldie Goldmark, Jack Keller and 24 year old Phil Spector, who eventually dominates the conversation with many personal points of view, comments, and disagreements in particular with William B. Williams and moderator, David Susskind.

NOTE: This peerless TV Audio Air Check represents the first time that Phil Spector voiced subjective and personal anecdotal feelings on a TV talk show, revelatory  to his revolutionary work he was doing and portending to do in the future. Of the over 20,000 titles in the collection of ARCHIVAL TELEVISION AUDIO this television audio air check is considered one of the extant audio gems  representing this "lost" television broadcast which was erased soon after it was broadcast August 23, 1964.      

This recording was personally Audio recorded off the air, 1/4" reel to reel tape, direct line, obtaining excellent sound quality at the time of this one time only broadcast, by Phil Gries, founder and owner of ATA.                                                                                    

October 6th, 1964-March 2, 1965 (WPIX)

DEBUT of this ninety-minute short-lived ground breaking phone-in discussion program seen on local WPIX-TV Channel 11 in New York City form 11:15pm to 12:45pm.

Topics discussed are pornography and the Warren Commission Report, 

Guests include Jackie Robinson, Gore Vidal, and Dorothy Kilgallen. WINS RADIO disc jockey Murray Kaufman calls the show.

Host: David Susskind. The producer of the program is Joyce Davidson. She married Susskind in 1966.                                                                                                                                                       

A special Carol Burnett tribute to the Beatles which pre-empts THE ENTERTAINERS a weekly CBS variety Friday night series (September 24, 1964 - March 27, 1965). 

This air check contains only the first half of this one hour special. 

Carol introduces this little known program from her home, explaining a departure from the expected ENTERTAINERS broadcast and telecasting a surprise program confirming her adulation for  the Beetles. Carol Burnett narrates interesting Beatle transitional  information over footage filmed by Albert Maysles and recorded by David Maysles' appearing in  their direct cinema feature documentary, WHAT'S HAPPENING!THE BEATLES IN THE USA (1964) which was devoid of all narration. 

Included excerpts, interviews with the Beatles by Murray Kaufman,
the Beatles in their hotel room listening to WINS radio...Sam Cooke recording, other. We hear press interviews, interactions with fans, on the phone talking to the UK. At one  point Murray the K mentions to his WINS audience, broadcasting from the Beatles hotel room, to stay tune in 44 minutes for a WINS documentary special, Meet The Beatles (see ATA #699A).  

NOTE: A very unusual use of employing visual material from a  yet to be released USA documentary using ample footage and narration by Carol Burnett over it for this television broadcast special. The Maysles Brothers 83 minute feature documentary was released in the USA December 14, 1965, a month after this Carol Burnett Special aired on television. 

Assumption is that selling footage by the Maysles Brothers to Carol Burnett's production company from their documentary was a way of promoting the complete documentary about to be released. 

Possibly the reason why there is no reference to this broadcast anywhere including, IMDb, Internet, TV Guide, Ross Reports TV Index, TV Reference books or its listing not found in any of the  major entertainment museums, is that it was not a scheduled television program but a last minute preemption filling the regular time spot for THE ENTERTAINERS. 

A peerless audio air check.   

Contains a Marlboro Cigarette commercial.
