Jim Felix
1959
An old hand for the WFIL stations was Broadcast Pioneers member, the late Jim Felix. We have a program from WFIL Radio from September of 1959 with Jim doing the business report. We only have two minutes of the broadcast and the quality is far from air quality.
We've come across another WFIL Business Report featuring Jim Felix. At this time, we feel that this program dates from September of 1958, a year earlier than the broadcast above. The broadcast isn't complete but we do have three minutes of the program.
This broadcast is much better in quality than the 1959 broadcast. First, it was better to start with. Then we spend plenty of time cleaning up the audio (about 5 hours of work) to put it in the condition it is now. Because of the restoration of the audio, this broadcast does NOT fall under "fair use" and is protected by United States Copyright.
