Do you remember this?

The program was "Our Best to You." This program ran from late 1947 to early 1962 on WPTF.
 

The Host was Jimmy Capps, a marvelous announcer and an even better person!  He was inducted into the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in April 2001.  Other members include Billy Graham, Edward R. Morrow, Kate Smith, William Friday, and others."

Our Best to You" OBTY was originated by the late Jimmy Capps and aired nightly from 1O PM to Midnight.  In addition to requests, Jimmy also read poetry.

The program was the highest rated of all WPTF programs.   No WPTF personality has ever been more Popular than Jimmy Capps.   Jimmy died in 1967.

We have a program on Sunday Nights and at 11 O'clock each Sunday night we still today play the traditional Jimmy Capps opening theme song (a song recorded by Eddie Howard entitled My Best to You) and still have Jimmy's voice on the air.


As a tribute to Capps, the 11 PM hour of the WPTF Hall of Fame features nothing but love songs, and begins each week with the original theme sound in the voice of Jimmy Capps.   From time to time the program features some of the readings of poetry by Jimmy Capps from the WPTF archives.
