Talk Radio: the early days[edit]

In the very early 1950's Alan Courtney, who had a long career in New York radio, created in Miami. Florida "The Alan Courtney Open-Phone Forum" which for many years dominated late night radio and enjoyed extraordinarily high ratings. Courtney invited on-air listener comment, employing a 30-second delay system to screen out profanity, and espoused a political Conservatism and anti-Communism which presaged the candidacies of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. Alan Courtney did not live to see the fall of the Berlin Wall or the acknowledged collapse of the Soviet. His program reached to Cuba and was a major concern of the castro government. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sleplaw@comcast.net (talkcontribs) 20:36, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
