I started getting really interested in radio at the age of 13. This would have been back in the early 80's. I began by listening to our hometown radio station religiously, which was a full-service country music AM station (500 watts, daytime only). They used to carry these three-minute radio program bits (sent to them on vinyl album), that I suspect were all put out by the same production company. Each program was sponsored by a local advertiser which was always in close relation to the type of program being carried. Most of the programs were of no interest to me (I was a teenager, after all), but I would often "sit through" them just so I could hear some country music afterward. I was wondering if anyone remembers any of these syndicated radio programs from the 80"s and if there is any way I could obtain copies of them (or maybe hear them on the internet, somewhere)
