April 1, 1977-CBS Radio News Programs

-Sometimes radio stations would often carry a good chunk of network news features in a designated period. From April 1, 1977, here is WROW-Albany presenting five CBS Radio news programs in a half hour block starting with the top of the hour "The World Tonight" anchored by Douglas Edwards, followed by a Walter Cronkite news and comment program (on radio, Cronkite was able to be more opinionated than he was on television). After Cronkite, Brent Musburger hosts the "Sportstime" segment that had previously been hosted by Phil Rizzuto through 1975. "Today In Business" looks at financial news while "Newsbreak PM" hosted by Reid Collins focuses on a single extended news story. Completing this picture is the next top of the hour CBS Radio newscast. -Among the stories that day were events regarding the House Select Committee on Assassinations studying the JFK Assassination, economic news in the early months of the Carter Presidency and the return of victims from the tragic runway collision at Tenerife Airport in the Canary Islands in the worst commercial aviation accident ever. In the sports segment, Musburger notes Joe Theismann's disenchantment with being a backup to Billy Kilmer with the Redskins and also look at New York high school basketball star Albert King (who would later go on to play in the NBA).
