09:00 AM  When Radio Was

09:30 AM  Barrie Craig, Confidential Investigator
 Film star William Gargan came to the NBC airwaves in 1951 as the star of Barrie Crane, Confidential Investigator, a reworking of his earlier Mutual radio series (and NBC television program) Martin Kane, Private Investigator. When the producers of the earlier program objected to the many similarities between the two series, changes were made in Gargan's new series, which was quickly retitled Barrie Craig, Confidential Investigator. The series aired on NBC from October 3, 1951 through June 30, 1955.
10:00 AM  Gunsmoke
 Radio’s greatest adult western told the story of Matt Dillon, U.S. Marshal, the first man they look for and the last they want to meet. Gunsmoke grew out of a request from CBS founder William Paley for a Philip Marlowe in the Old West, and featured grimly realistic stories set in the vicinity of Dodge City, the Gommorrah of the West, with William Conrad as Dillon.
11:00 AM  Dragnet
 Ladies and gentlemen, the story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent... One of the most popular police dramas in the history of broadcasting, Dragnet aired on NBC Radio from June 10, 1949 through February 7, 1957 and on television from 1952-59 and 1967-72. Dragnet introduced a new era of documentary-style realism.
