On NBC Radio's "Monitor" this weekend... Yes, we know NBC Monitor is not on the air THIS weekend. But it WAS on the air for nearly 32 hours from 8 to 10 p.m. Friday night and 8 a.m. to midnight Saturday and 10:30 a.m. to midnight Sunday March 8, 9 & 10, 1957, 53 years ago!
*************** We'll update this page every week (really!) to show how Monitor made good on its premise that "weekends are different -- so is Monitor" and its promise that Monitor would be "going places and doing things" every weekend!
