Breakfast News Service

For a little over a year, from December 1971 to 1973, WBNS-AM instituted a morning news block called the Breakfast News Services. BNS. Get it? Among the people involved in the program were Dick Boyer, Chet Long, Ted Mullins, and Wayne Byers. In addition, News Director Don Smith, Bob Jeffrey, Ed Ross and Bill Hamilton were involved in the all news in the morning effort. The program ended in March of 1973 with the hiring of Bob Conners as morning host for the station. This was during the time the station was making the transition from standards, big band and CBS network programming to a more contemporary sound.

Update:  I received information from Ed Johnson, who worked gathering news stories and other production pieces for the show.  Ed told me Bob Jeffrey and Ed Ross weren't associated with the program.  Thanks Ed for assisting with setting the  record straight.
