In the pre-internet days, on Saturdays during football season, people would call UC Berkeley, long distance, and ask to be put on hold, so they could listen to school’s radio station’s broadcast.
Back in the pre cell phone era you could call a local number from your landline phone and get the current time and temperature. It was usually sponsored by a local bank. “At the tone the time will be 12:22 PM the temperature is 85 degrees.”
