Subject:  Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew?

When radio drama was at its height in popularity in the late thirties
and forties, the Hardy Boys series and Nancy Drew series were also
extremely popular.  Were either of these two series ever done on radio?
If not, was there a specific reason why?  I would think they would have
translated well into radio drama.

I'm surprised that nobody included Brace Beemer's appearance on TV's
"I've Got A Secret".

Additionally Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels appeared in costume in
Stan Freberg's classic TV commercial for Jeno's Pizza Rolls.

 From Those Were The Days ==

8/4

1921   The first tennis match on radio was broadcast on KDKA in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This was a natural since KDKA was the first
commercial radio station in the United States. Within eight months the
powers that be figured out that sports on radio would bring in big sales
revenues. And so, the Davis Cup match between Great Britain and
Australia was aired on the radio; but much to the wonderment of KDKA's
listeners. Tennis anyone? On radio? It rates right up there with radio
wrestling or, maybe, [removed]

1927   Station 2XAG, later named WGY, the General Electric station in
Schenectady, NY, began experimental operations from a 100,000 watt
transmitter. Later, the FCC regulated the power of AM radio stations to
not exceed 50,000 watts on 'clear channels' (where few, if any, stations
would cause interference with each other).

1940   Crime Doctor introduced a new kind of radio hero to audiences.
The CBS program presented Dr. Benjamin Ordway, the show's main
character, who was a victim of amnesia. He once was a criminal, but got
hit on the head, and suddenly began to work as a crime fighter. Nice twist.

8/5

1921   KDKA in Pittsburgh, PA did the first play by play broadcast of a
baseball game. Harold Arlin described the action as the Pirates beat
Philadelphia 8 5.

1935   Backstage Wife was first aired, on MBS.

8/6

1928   One of radio's first serials, Real Folks, debuted on NBC.

1939   After becoming a success with Ben Bernie on network radio, Dinah
Shore started her own show on the NBC Blue network. Dinah sang every
Sunday evening.

8/7

1949   Martin Kane, Private Eye was first heard on Mutual. William
Gargan starred on the Sunday afternoon program.
