THE BING CROSBY - ROSEMARY CLOONEY SHOW
In 1960, Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney teamed together in The Bing Crosby - Rosemary Clooney Show on CBS. This was a 20 minute show aimed at female listeners and was broadcast at 11:40 a.m. daily. Bing and Rosie would tape the dialogue weeks in advance and songs would be interpolated. The songs would usually feature Bing and Rosie singing solos and often a duet. Songs were repeated on many occasions. Murdo MacKenzie was again the producer. The shows commenced on February 29, 1960 and continued without a break until November 2, 1962 when Bing's long association with radio in the USA effectively ended.

OTRR Definitions:
OTRR Maintained Set -- This set contains all known episodes in the best available audio condition with the most accurate dates and titles known to be in general circulation and based on current research at the time of release. Replaces OTRR Certified Accurate and OTRR Certified Complete.
OTRR Non-Maintained Set -- A collection of shows that has not gone through the OTRR Maintenance process.
Pre-2019 OTRR Definitions:
OTRR Certified Accurate -- A series that was "Certified Accurate" indicated that all the episodes were properly identified and labeled based on current information but that the series did not contain all known extant episodes.
OTRR Certified Complete -- A series that was "Certified Complete" achieved the highest level of certification available under the OTRR Certified Standards. This certification level implied that all the files in the series were "Certified Accurate" and also indicated that the series was as complete as possible and included all circulating episodes.
OTRR Non-Certified -- A collection of shows that has not gone through the OTRR Certification process.
Also, beginning in 2019, the version numbers of our OTRR releases changed format -- instead of v1.0 or v2.1, we are now using a version number that reflects the year and month the set was released. The format used is a two-digit year followed by a two-digit month. For example, "v1906" indicates a set that was released in June 2019, or "v1910" indicates a set released in October 2019.
NOTE: There are no passwords for any of our ZIP files. If you are prompted for a password, before downloading the file again, try unzipping the file into a shorter full folder path name -- for example, unzip to "C:\" instead of "C:\Documents and Settings\your_Windows_ID\some_other_folder\". Sorry, some of our releases contain long folder and file names, which sometimes manifests itself on the Windows platform as prompting for a password for the ZIP file. Or try renaming the ZIP file itself to a shorter name before unzipping.

Didn't Bing do a series of five minute shows for Ford with Harry Von Zell around this time? Was it before or after the series with Clooney?
I have them all on an old drive not connected to my computer.
One day I'll hook her up.
This show was basically patter between Von Zell and Crosby, a spot for Ford, and a song, which I don't know if it was prerecorded or not.
I would think so.

Subject: CBS Radio's News and Personality Format
This show ,although debuting before the change, was an integral part of CBS Radio's news and personality format which began November 28, 1960.This new lineup was designed to appease affiliates who wanted more of a modern programming lineup from CBS which took less out of their local schedules. 10 mins of news on the hour, 5 minute "news features" on the half hour plus Arthur Godfrey Time, Bing Crosby-Rosemary Clooney Show, Garry Moore and an edited version of the tv soundrack from Art Linkletter's House Party. This daytime lineup lasted a year and 10 months. BC-RC was axed along with the Sunday night drama hour at the end of September 1962.
