I was referring to the time long before there was a WEVD-FM or any
other FM at that - the mid-to-late 1940s.  Not only did the radio not
speak English, it did not speak FM either.

As far as the survival of Yiddish, it is alive and well in the
black-hat community which to the chagrin of us "liberalim" is not
dwindling at all (birthrate 5-6 times that of the rest of the
community)..  It is very strange to hear a member of that community
who comes from a Sefardic or Mizrahi family mumble in Yiddish albeit
with lots of Americanisms interspersed..
