This week's #flickrFriday challenge was #Repetition - so the first thing I thought of was a typical FM radio studio. Most are unattended for the majority of the day, with an automation system running the same songs over and over on autopilot.
Malcolm X / Dorothy Ashby - 1965 Event Program for the Afro-American Broadcasting Company Awards Night Presentation held on February 14, 1965 at the Ford Auditorium in Detroit, Michigan. At that event the Dorothy Ashby Trio performed jazz music and El Hadj Malik Shabazz (aka the famous historical African-American figure widely known as Malcolm X) gave his last major speech before being assassinated exactly one week later on Feb 21, 1965.
This is an original issue 1965 event program booklet that was published to commemorate an event on February 14, 1965 at which Malcolm X gave his last major message just 7 days before his assassination on February 21, 1965. This event happened on the very same day that Malcolm X (or El Hajj Malik El Shabazz as was his preferred name at this time) had his Queens, New York home firebombed. Because of the damage his home suffered that night, he was not wearing his customary coat and tie because most of his clothes had been destroyed.
The "Afro American Broadcasting Company" was an African American organization that was formed in 1964 primarily to produce over the air radio programs that "met with African-American approval as spiritually free Black people". The organization began in 1964 to produce and distribute its own radio programs about the African American experience for radio stations throughout the Northeastern United States. The organization was formed in response to widespread dissatisfaction in the African American community with the content and character of radio programs produced about African Americans on "white radio stations". The purpose of the event held that Valentine's Day in 1965 was to raise money by selling tickets to the event itself. The money was to be used to provide scholarships to Afro American youth to enter the field then known as "mass communications". Malcolm X was particularly interested in supporting the African American media at this time because he recognized the importance of his speeches being accurately reported to the public by the mass media. Malcolm X's concern for accurate reporting of his views would explain his supporting this organization.
The event at which Malcolm X spoke that night was actually an awards event called the "First Annual Dignity Projection and Scholarships Award Night" sponsored by the Afro American Broadcasting Company. The event was complete with live music and famous persons being honored for their achievements including African-Americans such as Rosa Parks, Sidney Poitier, and Marion Anderson. The Dorothy Ashby Trio was part of the entertainment for this event. Malcolm X was the scheduled keynote speaker and he was the final speaker for that evening.
What was not commonly known is that the FBI, was very active in monitoring aka spying on the life of Malcolm X as well as others active in the civil rights movement. The FBI was concerned enough about the impact that this particular event in Detroit, Michigan might have. In fact the FBI was so concerned about this event that the FBI instituted what Malcolm X described later in his speech that night as a “Blackout” In this case a “blackout” meant that the FBI instituted a “counterintellengence” (COINTEL) action against the event by contacting and discouraging the larger sponsors such as Ford Motor Company, Chrysler Motor Company and others from supporting this event.
Near the end of his speech Malcolm X thanked his Detroit audience for attending the event. Apparently the fact that the FBI had attempted to sabotage this event was well known to Malcolm X. The FBI effort to peel support away from this event was at least successful enough so that the attendance was less than expected.
So few copies of this event program exist that I myself was contacted by a Detroit historian to provide photo scans of this copy.
The only other known copy of this event program noted on the Internet is a copy formerly owned by Rosa Parks, who was one of the individuals honored and pictured in the program. Distribution for this program may have been limited to the honorees and to the individuals and groups providing entertainment for the event.
This event program is not part of any collection that originated directly from Malcolm X or his family. It was and still is traditional to publish a very limited number of programs such as this to commemorate an event and then sell or give them away at the event. Since the program is dated on the front and was published strictly for this event, it is highly unlikely that the program was distributed after the date on the front. Because of the government pressure to suppress this historic event, chances are that any surviving copies of the event program were destroyed after the event.
This event program booklet is both extremely rare and very historic. Photographs of a corresponding 2 LP record set of Malcolm X's speech that night is included elsewhere in the Dorothy Ashby Legacy Photograph Collection only to give an additional historical reference as to what other recorded media was spawned as a result of the 1965 event that that this program commemorates.

Historic late 1960s television broadcasting equipment from The Marconi Company inside the Chelmsford and Essex Museum at Oaklands Park in Chelmsford (UK).
The equipment at the back is a television signal transmitter with a Marconi BBC studio camera and other artefacts including a radar thingy at the front.
Heartbreaking to see this engineering from someone who spent 15 years working for the company in manufacturing and the way the 'Marconi' name, the various local factories and all that expertise has been completely lost from the town and history.

Hundreds of revelers of the annual Santa Con event, gathered outside BBC Broadcasting House in Portland Place. They sung and danced to mobile music players spreading their Christmas cheer to passers by. Police officers arrived to ensure the road was clear.
From May 1956 until recently, this was the beating heart of regional telly in this part of the North West on the ITV network, but now all that has been transferred to the characterless and frankly unprepossessing Media City on the other side of the Irwell in Salford Quays - a venue shared by the BBC, who also broadcast from the iconic (and should never have been closed) Television Centre. Anyway. this was Quay Street Studios, home to a television station named by founder Leonard Bernstein after his favourite place - the Sierra Granada mountain range in the Andalusia region (pronounced 'Andaloothia') of Spain.
"What Manchester sees today London will see tomorrow" was his proud boast in the year when Britain and France invaded Suez, only for America to tell them to get out of there. Because it wasn't a war they started, they had to get jealous but I digress.
This was also where Richard Madeley (big, BIG fan of Tesco!) met Judy Finnegan who cheerfully told him on his first day at the station back in 1982 that she 'was his mummy' and, let's face it, the years haven't exactly been kind to her!
Of course, I should really have taken a few photos of this in the past when it was an active TV studios but what spurred me into action was Peter Kay's tribute to the station Goodbye Granadaland and that was a week before I took these shots. Why a week you may ask? Well, because I forgot to charge my camera battery the night before I first went (June 16), I had to make do with the camera on an old mobile phone. I only took a few photos with that because I was used to MY camera. Anyway, long story short, as soon as I got home that day, I put the battery on charge and it was ready the following week. This rather long shot is of the main entrance on Great John Street but there is a more close-up view and, if you click on 'All Sizes' on that you can just about make out where the letters 'GRANADA TELEVISION' would have been on the canopy.
Oh yeah, you may be wondering how the title came about. Well, years ago when the telly started at half nine in the am, they were the words you would have heard uttered in the dulcet tones of Graham James or whoever was announcer that day.
Showing my age, aren't I? But hey, I don't give a fuck!

相次ぐアナログテレビの不法投棄。
アナログ→デジタル移行がテレビ離れを加速させるとしたら、テレビ嫌いのワタシにとっては願っても無いことですが、地上波放送のデジタル化って、そもそも”誰得”なんでしょうかね。
少なくとも視聴者の得にはなっていないと思われ。

I imagine this telegram was saved because the meeting with Roger Clipp, who was general manager at Philadelphia radio station WFIL and who was described as Walter Annenberg's right-hand man, led to Tony (who can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/guyclinch/33293488705) being hired and becoming a very popular announcer in Philadelphia. [My guess is quite wrong; Tony worked at WFIL by 1939 and possibly earlier.]
Tony's career in radio, which had really progressed very well, came to an end too soon when he died at age 41 of some kind of liver ailment.
Here's the text of an article on his death from the March 24, 1951, Binghamton, New York, newspaper:
Tony Wheeler
Rites Monday
In Owego
Funeral services for Anthony
Klem Wheeler, 41-year-old radio
announcer who was described to-
day as "one of the first real disc
jockeys in the business" will be
held Monday in his native Owego.
Mr. Wheeler, familiarly known
to Southern Tier radio audiences
as "Tony Wheeler" succumbed at
City Hospital at 5:30 p. m. yester-
day to a chronic liver ailment.'
He had been admitted to the
hospital Thursday. He had been
ill for about a year and had been
admitted to the hospital last
December for treatment and was
discharged early in January.
Services will be held at 2 p. m.
at the Estey and Munroe Funeral
Home, Park Street, Owego. The
Rev. Edgar Frank, pastor of Pres-
byterian Union Church, will of-
ficiate. Burial will be Evergreen
Cemetery, Owego.
At the time of his death, Mr.
Wheeler was employed at Station
WINR where he recently replaced
his announcer-son, William Wheel-
er, who has been drafted.
Mr. Wheeler was born in Owego
June 12, 1909, the son of Ezra and
Jenny Klem Wheeler. He was
educated in Owego schools.
He became an employe. of sta-
tion WNBF about 1930, beginning
his career as a radio engineer. He
obtained a radio license and was
second in command of engineering
at WNBF until about 1934.
Cecil D. Mastin, general man-
ager of WNBE, said today Mr.
Wheeler "was one of the fastest
code transmitting
men in the
business."
"Tony became very interested
in announcing from 1933 on and
acted in the dual capacity of an-
nouncer - technician during that
period. He was one of the first
real disc jockeys in the business,"
he said.
In 1940, Mr. Wheeler joined Sta-
tion WFIL, Philadelphia, Mr. Mas-
tin said, and "there he very soon
established a reputation as being
the outstanding announcer in the
city."
He returned to WNBF to
serve for one year as chief an-
nouncer in 1947. He later was em-
ployed in Rochester.
Besides his parents, with whom
he lived at 72 Forsythe Street,
Mr. Wheeler is survived by his
sons, William, stationed at Camp
Dix, N. J ., and John, of Philadel-
phia, and a daughter, Joan, also
of Philadelphia.
