The BBC’s Radio Times, published from 1929 to the present, has been digitized as a database, and is now searchable up to 2009.

Another fine lunch with the Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters at Sportsman’s Lodge in the Valley. This time the special guest was my old enemy, Larry King. I call him my old enemy, because of all the hooha back when he wouldn’t have me on his show to give my side of the story when he interviewed my ex Lynn, way after the breakup, and scrolled nasty remarks about me at the bottom of the screen. So I sued him and CNN in Federal court, remember. (But it was probably the producers who make these decisions, not him.) See the left pane to learn how it ended with the Ninth circuit.

Can’t resist this one
Here is a link to my ex-wife’s site. I set this up for her years ago before it was a popular thing to do, hence we got the name “redgrave” as a kind of family generic name.
Here’s a fun game to play. See if you can find me anywhere. I
