  • FAVORITE STORY "Meridian 7 12 12"

The program was "advertised as a show that 'stands head and shoulders above the finest programs on the air'". Originating at KFI in Los Angeles, California. Each episode of Favorite Story featured an adaptation of a story selected by a celebrity — purportedly his or her favorite story. The celebrities came from various fields: actors, directors, bandleaders, and athletes, to name but a few. Because they did not appear on the air, the Ziv Company saved any salary that their appearances would have incurred. Compensation came in the form of promoting whatever book, film, or other work the guest had coming up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favorite_Story

This gives him an idea and he sends Jim down to the telephone service to gather some more information. It quickly becomes apparent that the time that night carries a very special significance for one of the girls at the telephone service.
