     From Those Were The Days

    6/12

    1947   Sergeant Preston of The Yukon went national for the first time.
    The show, with the Canadian Mountie and his trusty dog, King, continued
    on the radio until 1955, beginning on WXYZ Detroit in 1938. Sgt. Preston
    was created by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker, who also created The
    Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet.

    1955   The first network radio show to be produced with no script, The
    University of Chicago Round Table, was heard for the final time on NBC.
    The program was the first network radio program to win the coveted
    George Foster Peabody Award.

    1955   "This is Monitor, a weekend program service of NBC Radio," was
    heard for the first time. Notables such as Bill Cullen, Ed McMahon, Hugh
    Downs, and Dave Garroway recited this line. It was a network cue to NBC
    radio stations across the nation who carried the long form news,
    entertainment and variety broadcast from New York City. Stations and
    listeners who were "on the Monitor beacon" were entertained for six
    hours or more each Saturday and Sunday night for nearly two decades.
    NBC's Monitor was one of the last live network radio programs on the air.

    6/13

    1944   The wire recorder was patented by Marvin Camras.

    6/14

    1922   A [removed] President was heard on the radio for the first time.
    President Warren G. Harding dedicated the Francis Scott Key Memorial and
    was heard on WEAR in Baltimore.

    1950   Harold Peary played the leading role of The Great Gildersleeve
    one final time. Willard Waterman took Peary's place in the role.

    6/15

    1936   Al Jolson and Ruby Keeler starred in Burlesque on the Lux Radio
    Theatre.

    6/17

    1942   Suspense, known as radio's outstanding theatre of thrills,
    debuted on CBS. The program kept millions of loyal listeners in suspense
    for the next 20 years (and three months).

    6/18

    1939   CBS aired The Adventures of Ellery Queen for the first time. An
    interesting twist came near the end of the program when the show was
    stopped to allow a panel of experts to guess the solution of the night's
    mystery.

    1961   Gunsmoke was broadcast for the last time on CBS. The show had
    been on for nine years. It was called the first adult Western. The star
    of Gunsmoke was William Conrad.
