WALTER WINCHELL “JERGENS JOURNAL,” BLUE NETWORK, SEPT. 12, 1943
I have collected some of the “rapid fire” radio reports by Walter Winchell (1897-1972) which seem appropriate to share on my channel. Say what you want about Winchell, he had a huge radio audience in 1940s. My generation largely remembers Winchell long after his radio heyday as the narrator of the Desilu Productions TV program “The Untouchables” (1959-1963). The Winchell of the 1940s was highly opinionated and feared by many as he had the ability to make or break careers with a comment or two during his weekly newscasts, which were more commentary than actual news reports. This broadcast, which includes original spots for sponsor Jergens, is filled with news from World War II.
