Nitebeat
(1965-68) — Kansas City's premiere call-in show
and a killer in the ratings. It was also a free-for-all
that Walt describes as sharing “a lot in common
with a grocery store tabloid.” The show ran
from 10 P.M. to 1 A.M. Monday through Friday. “In
those three hours, I am certain, the I.Q. of the audience
gradually shrank.” (My TImes, My Town)
Sunday Town
Hall (1968-74) — A five-hour public
affairs call-in show that ran from 7 P.M. to Midnight
every Sunday night, presenting the host with certain
technical difficulties.
