[Description by Uncle Ricky, contributed by Bill Deane] Not only has the music been restored on this rare aircheck of Bill Deane and 1961 WFUN, the aircheck itself has been re-constructed to feature a few classic PAMS jingles and lots of original WFUN production from 1961. Missing jingles were replaced with comparable jingles from the same series, missing newscasts were replaced with news promos, and missing commercial and promotional content was replaced with selections from Bill Deane’s contributed archive of commercials and promos. Bud Connell (WNOE, WABC) consulted WFUN at this time, and the “gag” commercials, offering The Goodyear Blimp (for only $400,000) and The Fountainbleu Hotel (for only $65,000,000) were part of the creative energy that Connell brought to The Fun Spot. There’s even a spoof for “one of the wonders of the world, in adult or teenage size,” but nary a clue as to what it actually is! Likewise, the outrageous Fundamental News, with production elements partially restored here from a master recording (courtesy of The Bob Mayben Collection), was a Connell creation, evolved from the earlier tabloid-style radio newscasts heard on the Storz stations. Again, our thanks to Bill Deane, who was part of a truly all-star staff. His co-workers included Danny Dark and Gary Stevens! Although the original contribution was very tightly scoped, it was a studio recording, and the audio fidelity was very high. Additional thanks to Tracy Carman of Media Preservation Foundation and Tom Buck for their assistance in providing the bits that made it possible to piece this one together.
