Dave Leonard Talks About Golden Years of TV Guide




The Baby Boomer Radio, TV, Movies, Magazines, Music, Comics, Fads, Toys, Fun, and More Show! show

Summary: On this episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, we are once again joined by our good friend Dave Leonard. Normally, an appearance by Dave indicates talk of Top 40 radio history, but not this time. Dave joins us to talk about TV Guide magazine. We all remember the small issues of TV Guide each week, where we would see listings for our local TV stations in our area. Dave has a great collection of vintage TV Guides, and on this episode we talk about the history of TV Guide, how it began and how it evolved. We also look at the collectability of TV guides, which are the covers that are most in demand, what condition is most desirable, and are issues with mailing labels desirable? In addition, Dave offers us hints on starting a TV Guide collection and tips on storing and preserving them. All in all a fascinating look at this staple of TV watching back in the day. Our Retro-Commercial is a musical piece for the 1970 Chrysler Cars. Join us on this episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network!
