"The Stamp Collecting Report" began in 1997 as a 60-second weekly feature
distributed to CBS Radio Network stations by CBS News as part of its Weekend
Feature Package. Eventually, longer versions were recorded for this website and
a Christian evangelical shortwave service. The Report ended its CBS run in 2017
with only six repeats in some 1,040 weeks.
