I've done several searches but have been unable to locate the old Mutual News intro, logo, sig, sounder, or whatever you call it. Anybody have a link?
The Mutual intro that heralded Tony Marvin ("MEW-tu-al Noose!") was ubiquitous in small-markets (usually over a not-top-quality phone line) back in the 1950s and 1960s. Well into the late 60s the MBS studio ops next to WOR in Manhattan were still slip-cueing that intro on a transcription disc, long after major radio nets were using cart machines.
Often Mutual casts included commercials from advertisers shunned by ABC, CBS and NBC, including Preparation H, D-Con rat poison, and "offer" commercials from the oft-heard voice of Mexican border radio, Del Sharbis.
Would be fun to hear that art-deco logo once again.....
