Talk:Dialing for Dollars

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greetings, I've re-written and wikified this article, adding more info. about the show's early origins in radio, etc.

One question I have concerns the statement found in this article – and also Oprah Winfrey's article – claiming that "She hosted Dialing for Dollars in Baltimore on WJZ-TV with the theme The Hustle: what is the source for this?

Her own website bio doesn't mention it and according to a Baltimore Sun article dated July 18, 1994, (which I've referenced in the revised article), Stu Kerr hosted Dialing for Dollars on another Baltimore station, WMAR-TV, until it "left the air in 1977".

I've tagged this ^{[citation needed]} here and at Oprah Winfrey before removing it. JGHowes ^talk - 13:08, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure who posted that particular bit, but I can verify from personal knowledge it is true, the only issue is finding a verifiable source, Oprah was not especially proud of her years in Baltimore towards the end, and fled People are Talking. dml 13:50, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
