From the October 24th, 1960 issue of Broadcasting Magazine. I know the puns about our town's genocidal namesake are easy and plentiful (I own at least a half-dozen books about this city with "Discover" in their name), but even by those standards this is A LOT.

Columbus charts a new route The explorer arrived by an inland route last Columbus Day in New York City. "Christopher Columbus" had his voyage financed by WCOL Columbus, Ohio, and was able to re- portto his patron that this part of the world is not square but warmly re- ceptive tohim and a fellow emissary, "Miss WCOL," who also was naviga- tor on the trip. The mission is ex- pected to help keep traffic running freely on east-west trade lanes. Actors Walter Moulder and Betty Webb got official credentials from Mayor Ralston Westlake of Colum- bus before setting out for the eastern part of the New World. On arrival Oct. 12 they marched down Fifth Avenue with Columbus Day pa- raders, held a key-to-the-city cere- mony at Columbus Circle shook hand and gave goodwill messages to Mayor Robert F. Wagner, Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, presidential can- didate John F. Kennedy and other dignitaries. Nor did they neglect to pay their respects to merchantile in- terests. Officials of Robert E. East- man & Co., national sales represen- tative of WCOL, took the costumed Columbus and Miss WCOL on the rounds of advertising agencies, where they gavehonorary citizenship certificates from Columbus, Ohio.
