Santa listens to the wishes of one of his many admirers	Bob Bender plays the part of the "jolly old elf"	"You better watch out, you better not cry..."	"...Santa Claus is coming to town!"

Of course, Santa couldn't do his show without his "helpers".  One of those people was producer / director Rodger Magriney.

"I worked for WHP Stations (AM-FM-TV) from Feb. 1964 - Feb. 1975, first as a staff engineer and later as a producer / director; mostly on the TV side, but also some radio work.  I produced and directed commercials, promos, PSA's, as well as local programs such as TOPIC A, John Price's Roundtable and the Santa Claus Show (with Bob Bender as Santa).  This show ran in the Harrisburg market for more than 20 years first on WTPA-27 and then on WHP."
