Wednesday, February 22nd
7:00 PM PST
LIVE via ZOOM – LINK BELOW!!
When Truth or Consequences first premiered on radio in 1941, no one could have predicted what the program would have accomplished. By 1945 the radio audience was invited to participate in write-in contests to identify mystery celebrities and donations that accompanied the write-ins helped establish numerous charities including the formation of the American Heart Association.
In 1950, the radio program helped convince the town of Hot Springs, New Mexico, to change their name to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. The program would launch Bob Barker’s career and ultimately establish the Jimmy Fund. This 40 minutes slideshow presentation will document the entire history, using archival photos from various archives across the country, some that have never been published before.
