This chart is an attempt to show graphically the scope of Bill’s radio and television career.  Blocks are approximate spans of time (a lot of the radio dates are guesswork), and there is still some overlapping not represented here.  Still, this gives you a pretty good idea of the number of shows Bill juggled during his career.  The five-minute radio series It Happens Every Day (1952-1955) and the Saturday afternoon radio program Road Show (1954-55) are not included since that would have forced a FIFTH column!   Also not included are the many radio shows for which he was an ANNOUNCER, jobs that began in 1944 and continued well into 1951.
