Postby Lookit » Wed Jul 03, 2013 4:36 pm

Does anyone have more details about this? Just saw it on the Sirius Radio Classics site, http://www.siriusxm.com/radioclassics:

*********************

We Found Jack! The Lost Episodes Of The Jack Benny Program
Tomorrow 8:00 pm ET
The Jack Benny Radio Marathon on RadioClassics, featuring "lost episodes" of the renowned Jack Benny Show. Running from 8pm ET Thursday July 4th through 8pm ET Saturday July 6th, the Jack Benny Radio special will feature audio presentations of "new", previously unreleased episodes of the Jack Benny TV show, alongside special airplay of his beloved radio show. "We Found Jack" will also include exclusive interviews with show producers and cast-members including acclaimed actor and funnyman Harry Shearer, TV director Norman Abbott and Benny's longtime secretary, Dorothy Ohman. Prior to his impressive 15 year television run (1950-1965), the legendary funny man was radio’s greatest comedian, so in addition to excerpts from the lost TV episodes, host Greg Bell will present numerous Jack Benny radio shows spanning much of his nearly quarter of a century on radio (1932-1955).

Rebroadcast: Fri 7/5 12:00 am ET; Fri 7/5 2:00 pm ET; Sat 7/6 12:00 am ET; Sat 7/6 10:00 am ET

Based on their schedule at http://gregbellmedia.com/Schedules/RC%20June%2030th,%202013%20-%20July%206th,%202013%20-%20PDF%20Version.pdf, the "Rebroadcast" tag doesn't entirely seem to make sense because it's presented as three long blocks of programming with the second and third labeled as "Continued." Perhaps they're rebroadcasting the new content (interviews and TV clips) with different radio episodes interspersed each time?

They're playing radio episodes along with the audio of some of the TV shows in the new DVD collection and bits of the interview with Harry Shearer, Dorothy Ohman, and the director whose name escapes me at the moment.
They just played the WWII episode from St Joe with Jane Wyman. I'm always struck by Jack saying at the end that defeating Japan is expected to take another 1 2/2-2 years.
