Here's an excerpt of an early Saturday evening newscast on KYW Radio, probably broadcast over both AM & FM. Remember that there was a KYW-FM at that time. The clip dates from January of 1952. The announcer has not yet been unidentified. Can anyone help? E-mail us.

The unknown announcer form the clip from 1952, KYW sounds to be Hugh Walton. I have several of his old broadcasts from the late 30's with Jan Savitt and the Top Hatters which was the house band at KYW at that time until he went to NY around 1939....
