And found out that "Bingo at Home" aired daily from February 17 through December 12, 1958, ending due to its primary sponsors (General Foods and Standard Brands) pulling out during the final few weeks of the run.

Aside from comments indicating this is a Monday, the biggest indicator of some airdate is the mailing address for those who want to play but either have an unlisted number or don't have a phone line yet -- they have to send a request to WABD, which changed its call letters to WNEW on September 7, 1958. As such, this is between February 24 and September 1.

As for the audio quality, it's definitely better than some stuff I've heard over the years. :)
