On Tuesday, August 14, 1945, Japan surrendered unconditionally to the United States and her allies. President Truman decided that he would not broadcast, but would allow the four radio networks to announce the good news. All broadcasts from inside the White House were banned. President Truman called the reporters into the oval office, told them the news and the race to the telephones was on! The newsrooms of ABC and Mutual relied on the speed of the wire services. NBC and CBS kept open phone lines from the White House press room. The four clips below are from around 6 p.m. Central War Time that night as the news reached the network studios. This is believed to be the first time the surrender news from all four networks has been available in one place. The NBC material was recently discovered by Todd Kosovich, who provided all these clips. Campbell Mithun samples (montage) of commercials that they produced through the years. The tape was produced in 1983 for their 50th anniversary Dan Donovan - Career Composite Sample (WMEX-AM/Boston, WFIL-AM/Philadelphia, KSTP-FM/Twin Cities, KQQL-FM/Twin Cities) - 3 MB (provided by Curt Copeland) Guindon cartoons from Minneapolis Tribune on WCCO-AM, KDWB-FM, KEEY-FM (beautiful music) - Mid to late 1970s PDF Jesse Ventura for Governor Commercials - 1998 (1 MB each) - Jesse's Theme - Jesse + Abe - Insignificant - I believe - Economics (provided by Jay Philpott) Coverage of the death of John Lennon (click here) KVSC-FM (St. Cloud, MN 88.5 FM) - (1980) 1st Trivia Weekend 4 MB - Station ID .5 MB - MONTAGE MANIA: A special contribution by Jay Philpott (click here) KEEY-FM (1973) 1 MB PDF (provided by Brian Carlson) KQRS-FM (1974) 1 MB PDF (provided by Brian Carlson) Budget Rent-A-Car (1977) 1 MB PDF (provided by Jay Philpott) WAYL-FM (1978) 3 MB PDF (provided by Jay Philpott) WAYL-FM (1979) 1 MB PDF (provided by Jay Philpott) Star Tribune article: "Fine Tuning Drive Time Disc Jockeys" (7/14/1981) #1 - #2 PDF Files (provided by Jay Philpott) The Breeze - Demo Tapes 1988 - The Breeze Radio Network - 16 MB 1990 - The Breeze Special - 6 MB Tom Bodett -The End of
