WCCO 100 Days - Hubert Humphey on-air when called to be vice president


Listen Later

One of the most unique moments in the station's history took place in 1964 when then President Lyndon B. Johnson was looking for his Election running mate. While on the air with WCCO's Boone and Erickson, MN Senator Hubert Humphrey found out during a CBS net alert that Johnson was trying to reach out to him to be his VP, a remarkable moment for both the station and Humphrey.
