More than 700 uncredited scriptwriters who created the memorable
characters and thrilling stories of radio's Golden Age receive due
recognition in this encyclopedia. For some, radio was a stepping
stone on the way to greater achievements in film or television, on
the stage or in literature. For others, it was the culmination of a
life spent writing newspaper copy. Established authors dabbled in
radio as a new medium, while working writers saw it as another
opportunity to earn a paycheck. When these men and women came to
broadcasting, they crafted a body of work still appreciated by
modern listeners.
Kansas City's KMBC was home to many country and western artists
during radio's golden age but few could match the popularity and
longevity of the Texas Rangers. Debuting in 1932, the Texas Rangers
entertained America by radio, records, tours, motion pictures and
television before finally disbanding in the 1950s. With few
commercially released singles, the Texas Rangers were soon
forgotten after their heyday except by the most devoted fans of the
genre. Now, nearly six decades after the end of their performing
years, The Texas Rangers: Two Decades on Radio, Film, Television,
and State offers an in-depth history of the Texas Rangers. This
book provides a rare look into the personalities and business
dealings that kept the group performing before the public for more
than twenty years.
