KnoxViews is pleased to host the digital debut of "Knox Beat," Mark Harmon's lighthearted tribute to old-time radio. This show concerns a News Sentinel reporter frozen for 60 years. Enjoy the show and see if you can figure out the local voices before the closing credits.

P.S. WUTK Radio will be airing the program as well, sometime before the end of the year. Updates on other airings as new details emerge.

Thanks a Bunch for This

It was a fun romp. I'm a fan of old time radio and my thoughts went high into the Acme Building and to the office of Guy Noir, Private Detective. Then there was the marvelous AMC comedy series Remember WENN of several years back. Oh, and I recognized Randy Tyree right away.

One little nit picky thing though. Old Frank couldn't have driven an Edsel sixty years ago as they only became available in very late 1957. But then, maybe he somehow got his hands on a prototype or something.

Oh, yeah, old Frank would have been a class act in a 1953 Commander Starlight Coupe but, somehow I picture him in a DeSoto Business Coupe.
