Supposedly, they started saving episodes of his "Hot Seat" show the moment it became nationally Syndicated, and that only the episodes recorded prior to that and only aired locally were taped over by KDOC.
I seriously doubt KDOC saved any of the Hotseat Hotlines. Whatever survives is probably just people like me who happened to have a few on a VHS tape from years ago.
I was at Wally's memorial when he passed away and the program director from KDOC told me they threw away a lot of the tapes when the station moved. It's too bad. I would've loved to see more of these old Hotline shows.
damn, these must be old because no one is prank calling him.

@@Billybopper1 I tapped all of them.
@@skyler951 did you work for KDOC?
Interesting clip to be sure. Hard to believe there was a time where people weren't crank calling him non stop
Interesting segment. That first question demonstrates that even though Wally was a Conservative, he had his limits.
Wally on that really early wave on neo conservativism. John Birchers were rihht
So when exactly did the show become nationally Syndicated? I know the Blase Bonpane incident was on November 2, 1983, and aired three days later.
I don't think it ever did. Morton Downey did for a year before he faked an attack in a bathroom.
