Listeners to KMMO AM 1300 will have an opportunity to step back in time and experience “An Old Fashioned Christmas” beginning at 6PM on Christmas Eve.

The program will be hosted by local radio historian Rick Langdon, whose knowledge of, and enthusiasm for Old-Time Radio are well-known. Several years ago, Langdon was appointed by the Missouri Arts Council to tour the state with his presentation on the history and methodology of the subject. Langdon says his enthusiasm for Old Time Radio developed at a relatively young age.

Langdon describes the “Theatre of the Mind” experience as something that was unique, yet shared among listeners to radio during that era.

Langdon says he hopes the program evokes fond memories for those who remember the days of Old Time Radio, while being a uniquely new experience for others.

“An Old Fashioned Christmas” hosted by Rick Langdon will air beginning 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve, and runs through 6 p.m. Christmas Day, on KMMO-AM 1300, and streaming online at KMMO.com, and on the KMMO mobile streaming app.
