THE 80th ANNIVERSARY COOKBOOK

The History of WMT

WMT-AM was originally called WJAM. It first broadcast from a converted garage on Cedar Rapids' southwest side. In the station's first hour on the air, "The Manhattan Dance Orchestra" entertained listeners from as far away as sixty miles. WMT-AM's listening area now encompasses parts of six states, Eastern Iowa, Southeastern Minnesota, Northeast Missouri, Southern Wisconsin, Western Indiana, and the Northern half of Illinois. Soon after the first broadcast, studios were moved into the home of founder Douglas M. "Tex" Perham. Programming in those early days showcased local musicians and lecturers.

The first sports reports on WJAM radio began on August 3, 1922, in response to requests from listeners in Monticello and Central City, Sports coverage was to become a mainstay of WMT-AM's programming. A sportscaster, named Bert Puckett originatted play-by-play of Cedar Rapids Raider baseball from the roof of a nearby house. He was not allowed to broadcast from the ball park, because the ball club was afraid his broadcasts would cut down on attendance at the games. Puckett spent ten years at WMT, before going on to become "Bert Wilson," the Voice of Chicago Cubs, Another WMT sportscaster was to become a legend in his own time. Tait Cummins brought so much wit and wisdom to his sportscasting and, later, to his daily "Vignettes' that even listeners with little or no interest in sports became avid Cummins fans. Retired now for a little over a year, WMT Sports Director Ron Gonder has positioned himself with WMT listeners with the highest regard. He has been named Iowa Sports caster of the year by the National Sportscasters' and Sportswriters' Association eight times since 1970 and was inducted into the Iowa Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 1997. During the 70's and 80's Ron Gonder could be heard doing Hawkeye Football and Basketball play-by-play. WMT's newly named Sports Director Mark Allen will continue the tradition as he provides sideline reporting of the Hawkeye Football games and is the voice of the Iowa Women's Basketball team.
During those early days of broadcasting social clubs were forming in Marion, with WJAM programs as the featured entertainment Eastern Iowa listeners were introduced to jazz over WJAM Radio on March 7. 1924. Western music was also popular in those early years.

WJAM became WMT in 1928, when Harry Shaw bought tire station and moved it to Waterloo. WMT stands for Waterloo Morning Tribune, Shaw was a broadcast pioneer in his own right. He was one of tire first presidents of the National Association of Broadcasters and also helped found "Broadcasting" magazine.
WMT was owned by Harry Shaw until 1934, in October of that year, John and Mike Cowles of the Des Moines Register and Tribune Company bought WMT and seven months later moved 4 transmitter and towers back to Cedar Rapids where it was combined with the Cowles' other radio station, KWCR.
In October of 1934, WMT became associated with the Mutual Radio Network and the NBC Blue Network. Radio was moving into the era known as the Golden Age. This was the era of traveling bands, such as WMT's own Cedar Valley Hillbillies and Tom Owen's Cowboys. Tom Owen's Cowboys traveled under his leadership until his death in 1956. Two veterans of this band have become well known band leaders themselves, Leo Greco traveled with his own band, "Leo and His Pioneers" for many years before "settling down" to television and radio. Leo is the host of one of WMT-AM's most popular and longest running programs, Variety Time, heard every Sunday morning, Johnny Ketelsen took over leadership of the band after Tom Owen's death.
The Golden Age also saw the rise of the man-on-the-street type of interview. Art Shepard hosted the first local broadcast to interview passersby on a street corner. His program, Question Man, was heard on KWCR, Benne Alter continued the program as "The Man On The Street". Dean Landfear, who joined the station in 1943, was to host the longest-running spontaneous interview program in WMT's history. "The Voice of Iowa" broadcasts took Dean to the All Iowa Fair and Dairy Cattle Congress, year after year, as well as to countless county fairs and grand openings. But it didn't take an event to get Dean Landfear out among his listeners. And, listeners were welcome in the studio on the fifth floor of the Paramount Theatre building for the midday "Voice of Iowa" broadcasts. Dean Landfear was a household name in Eastern Iowa for more than thirty years. At the time of his retirement from WMT in 1975, Dean Landfear was Program Director. "The Voice of Iowa" bad become WMT-AM's legal trademark. He had left an indelible mark on the radio station.
II
WMT-AM is still "personality" radio. The tradition of keeping in close touch with its listeners, which started with Art Shephard, Berne Alter and Dean Landfear) continues today.
Personalities from WMT's early years often were veterans of vaudeville and the chatauque circuits. Bob and Babe Leefers were well-known regulars of the "Family Party" broadcasts. Libby Vaughn's Magic Kitchen, dating back to the early thirties, was the forerunner of WMT's current Open Line program for homemakers. Other well-known WMT characters included Lyle Harvey's "Joe Doakes." Dempsey Jones and the Jones Boys, Fran Allison's "Aunt Fanny" and Uncle Elmer and his Daffy Doodlers. Neil and Caroline Schaffner were enormously popular as "Toby and Susie". Their four-year run on WMT in the late thirties and early forties was just a part of their forty-year career in show business. Their traveling tent show made its last circuit in 1962.
Not every entertainer on WMT assumed a character. Many musicians performed under their own names: Red Rowe, "Sunny" Sue Webb, Rose Marie Jun, and Jerry Smith, the "Yodeling Cowboy." Many were to become famous in the music business, having launched their careers at WMT.
Possibly the best-known of all WMT personalities came to the station in 1935 from Iowa State Teachers' College, as University of Northem Iowa was then called. He was to devote his entire career to entertaining WMT listeners. At the time of his retirement in 1975, thousands of Eastern Iowans had literally grown up, and then raised their own families, listening to Howdy Roberts and his morning "Musical Clock" broadcasts.
Bob Leefers was also "Neighbor Bob." His "Tall Corn Time," heard at 530 every morning, was the start of WMT-AM's farm broadcasting. What started as entertainment has evolved, over the years, into a serious commitment to agri-business journalism, The names of Farm Directors such as Andy Woolfries, Chuck Worchester, Bob Nance, Jerry Passer, Rich Balvanz and WMT's first female Farm Director Karen Schulte are all familiar names to WMT listeners who tune in loyally each morning for market and weather information.
WMT Radio blankets much of the richest farmland in the world. Midwest farmers are second to none in production and the WMT Farm.
III
Department is second to none in providing listeners with the most important and immediate information each morning and noon hour. WMT farm broadcasters not only provide markets and news information to the farming community, they provide a positive voice for agriculture, one that highlights the hard work and dedication of America's farmers - the best in the world.

"The Voice of Iowa" has always been an authoritative voice. WMT Meteorologist Conrad Johnson, became an institution in Eastern Iowa, in bringing weather radar to the WMT Station, he was instrumental in bringing weather radar into non-governmental use. Conrad Johnson began an important tradition, in having earned the Seal of Approval of the American Meteorological Society,

The WMT-AM News department has introduced a number of innovations in radio news reporting to Eastern Iowa listeners. The station's first News Director, Doug Grant joined such distinguished CBS reporters as Edward R. Murrow and Eric Sevareid in bringing news of World War 11 to WMT listeners. Grants successor as News Director, Al Haugner, first instituted the news correspondent system. In the late forties, Jim Bormann introduced statehouse reporting and expanded on-the-scene news reporting. In 1955, the Radio-TV news Directors' Association named WMT-AM's news staff "best in the nation." Now added to the list of notable News Directors is Jim Boyd who held the position at WMT for 21 years and is now working from Des Moines at WMT's sister station WHO. WMT's News Director Jeff Schmidt has made his mark on WMT's history by providing coverage of the "Attack on America" the World Trade Center and Pentagon tragedy's.

A young newsman who was heard on WMT in the early 1960's, Richard Threlkeld, has gone on to become a correspondent for CBS and ABC News. Another newsman who was to achieve national prominence joined the WMT news team in 1949. Walter Cronkite was Washington D.C. correspondent for WMT and several other radio stations, providing daily reports and commentary.

A lot has changed in 80 years from our call letters and format to the personalities and programs that WMT carries. One thing that will never change is the commitment of providing information to the people of Eastern Iowa, News, weather, sports and farm are the fundamentals of our programming.

APPETIZERS, BEVERAGES. & DIPS

HINTS FOR APPETIZERS, BEVERAGES, AND DIPS

Save leftover fruit juices until there's enough to freeze in an ice tray. The cubes add extra flavor to lemonade, iced tea or Jello.

You won't need sugar with your tea if you drink Jasmine tea or the lighter bodied varieties like Formosa Oolong, which have their own natural sweetness. They are fine for sugarless iced tea, too.

When possible, float blocks of ice in punch rather then ice cubes. This not only is more decorative, but also slows melting and diluting.

Try placing fresh or dried mint in the bottom of hot chocolate for a zesty tests.

You can thaw frozen orange juice right in the container. Remove the top metal lid and place the opened container in the microwave. Heat on high power 30 seconds for 6 oz. and 45 seconds for 12 oz.

Never boil coffee; it brings out the acid and causes a bitter taste. Store coffee in the refrigerator or freezer to retain the fresh flavor.

Coffee beans and ground coffee retain their strong flavor longer if kept in the freezer.

Use a teaspoon of nonfat dry milk in your coffee or tea rather than nondairy creamers which contain saturated fats and sugar.

To keep tea and tea bags fresh, store them in air-tight containers in a cool, dark place away from strong-flavored foods.

When serving hors d'oeuvres on a sliver tray, you may wish to protect the tray from acids by covering it with a layer of green lettuce.

Use yogurt instead of sour cream for dips and you will reduce the calorie content.

Buy a loaf of unsliced pumpernickel bread and freeze it for an hour so you can slice it wafer thin. Then spread with unsalted butter and a light sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Toast at 325° until crisp.

Cut circles at bread with a cookie cutter, spread with mayonnaise, top with a cucumber and a pimiento silver or a sprig of dill.
