                <text>In 2009, BBRM staff and volunteers began the archiving of this collection, with the arranging of objects chronologically (1935 – 1995) and the purchasing of proper archival storage materials. In 2011, an oral finding aid with provenance was constructed by conversations between University of Alabama School of Library and Information Studies (UA SLIS) volunteer Lindsey Reynolds (now at University of Georgia, Athens Library) and BBRM Director Bob Friedman. In 2013 and 2014, those interviews were transcribed by UA SLIS volunteer Michael Mitchell (known affectionately as the MMT).  For each object, the original finding aid conversation has been added and can be found in quotes in the description section. As of the most recent online uploading in August, 2019, the Ephemera Collection consisted of eight boxes containing 413 folders with approximately 850 files, spanning the period 1935-1989.</text>

              <text>Box 4 Folder 36: "Folder 36 are two letters from Channel 42, WBMG TV in which they are contacting the Johnston Manufacturing Company, the Johnston Broadcasting Company as well. Two different companies owned by the Johnston family. What these letters represent is the move by WJLD from Red Mountain to its next location on 19th Street and First Avenue North, paid for by WBMG.  WBMG Channel 42 is leasing space in the WJLD studio building on Red Mountain from Johnston for space for television installation for WBMG,  Channel 42. These letters were found in the files at WJLD."</text>
