A NOTE FROM CHUCK:

In the winter of 2006, I was basically "semi-retired" when I was offered the host position on "When Radio Was."   It was, in a way, an offer I couldn't refuse because hosting a nationally syndicated radio program was one old-time radio adventure I hadn't done in all my years of broadcasting.

So, on October 8, 2006 I replaced Stan Freberg as host of "When Radio Was" and went on the air from coast-to-coast.

While doing the show I have had the opportunity to share my love of the vintage radio programs with many old and new friends across the country and together we enjoyed listening to the broadcasts and the performers who made up the true "golden age" of broadcasting.

But it's also been a very hectic and busy year, and now it's time to let someone else take over while I get back to taking it easier. 

I'd like to thank Brad Saul of Matrix Media, who was instrumental in getting me that offer I couldn't refuse and for being understanding when I told him it was time to end my tour of duty. 

And I want to thank YOU sincerely for tuning in.  I hope that you will continue to enjoy listening to the great shows on "When Radio Was." I hope that you will give Greg Bell the same warm welcome that was given to me when I began hosting the program.

Thanks for listening.

Chuck Schaden
