The term Old Time Radio refers to the relatively brief period from
1926, when the National Broadcasting Company first began network
broadcasting, until approximately 1960, when television became the
dominant communication medium in the United States. During this
time, radio was as popular and ubiquitous as television is today.
It was amazingly varied in the types of programming it offered;
many characters and programs were so popular that virtually
everyone was familiar with them. Even today, recorded versions of
these programs are still extremely popular and widely available,
both from commercial outlets and from hobbyists. Behind the
production of these programs was a complex technological and
financial infrastructure that had to be developed virtually from
scratch in a world unaccustomed to the rapid communication and
technological marvels that we take for granted today. The A to Z of
Old Time Radio provides essential facts and information on the
Golden Age of Radio. This is accomplished through the use of a
chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of
cross-referenced dictionary entries on the radio networks,
programs, directors, producers, writers, actors, radio series, and
radio stations. Entries on your favorite shows The Lone Ranger, The
Shadow, Dragnet, and Suspense and actors Bob Hope, George Burns,
Gracie Allen, and Edgar Bergen will have you jumping from one entry
to the next as you relive old favorites and discover hidden
treasures from the Golden Age of Radio.
