Bill Webber on "Breakfast Time"
WFIL-TV
1957

Broadcast Pioneers member Bill Webber hosted a kids program on WFIL-TV. His sidekick on the wire was Elmo Wiffleweather who brought Bill the weather. "Breakfast Time" ran for many years on Channel 6. Of course, after this program was finished Bill still had other duties which included radio DJ work, substitute announcer for Bandstand and normal TV booth announcing. By the way, the name of the theme song for the show was "Bugler's Holiday" by Leroy Anderson. This photo was taken on a Friday. How do we know this? Because each Friday, Bill "paid" Elmo five dollars for delivering the weather to Bill.
