Trivia: The name King Biscuit
Revue celebrates the longest running radio show in history -
originating in 1941, and still on the air - King Biscuit Time,
on KFFA from Helena, Arkansas. Also known as the King Biscuit
Flour Hour, the program aired live broadcasts of artists such
as Sonny Boy Williamson and Robert Lockwood Jr. This was, for
many listeners, the first and only connection to the original
black blues artists. The show's main sponsor was King Biscuit
Flour, hence the name "King Biscuit Flour Hour".
