No info on the WCBS 880 AM (the New York City affiliate and "mother 
ship") website, and the promotional cookbook they published for her 
(88 Recipes From Myra Waldo) is, naturally undated.

However, the NYPL catalogue lists publication dates for her books as 
ranging between 1954 and, I believe, 1979, and that probably reflects 
her national prominence as a radio personality, to some extent.

Maybe there's a radio equivalent of the TV Guide archived someplace, 
and you can start checking in 1954...

I'd be amazed to find that such info isn't readily available from the 
LA Times, though. But then you'd think WCBS radio would have an 
obituary, which they currently do not.
