[BC] Weirdo dials /was/ ABC Network in the wired days

[Rob Atkinson]

i have news for you Al, up into the 1980s WGN was cutting transcription 
disks because Wally Phillips's show used them (that was how they inserted 
the little voiced sound bites he would ad lib with which were his trademark, 
in a day before PCs with MP3 files on hard disks).  He brought in so much 
revenue they didn't mind spending the money on it, which was a lot.

That late? 1976. By 1964, or before, we were using Carts and reel-to-reel 
tape. A few commercials and public service announcements came in on disc of 
some kind.

approx 1976, ALL commercials, promos, themes etc were cut on 33 1/3 acetate, 
using a cold stylus.)
