Mr. Heiland....How neat of you to post about today being the 40th Anniv of the CBSRMT, and that you listened on WIBW 580.  I remembered today was the 40th Anniv myself, so I checked for something online commemorating it.  Way cool about your son's B-day on Jan 6!!

I also listened on 580 WIBW (lived near Emporia, KS), and remembered it starting at about 10:30 p.m., my bedtime.  I loved the CBSRMT, the creepy sounds and stories could make a young 11 year old boy squirm sometimes...lol.   Sometimes I heard it on other A.M. stations at different times.

My very favorite was Dracula, 1st broadcast on May 2, 1974.  I just posted on that episode.  That wonderful spring night became quite creepy...lol.  Long live the memories of the CBSRMT and congratulations for it being remembered 40 years later.  My 70's radio memories are highlighted by the great work of the CBSRMT.

Here's to the next 40 years.......pleasant dreams???
