In radio's "golden age," Christmas stories tended to be repeated year
after year on radio and became a memorable part of that era. Many people
would tune in every year to hear the same stories, usually new live
productions, but often with the same scripts.
For some real nostalgia, check out [removed]
Go to program 57, where you can hear the stories of and excerpts from
"Grand Central Station," "The Couple Next Door," and Fred Allen's
memorable Christmas show about Santa's elves going on strike. You can
also hear approximately 90 one-hour programs from the late 1960s and
early 1970s when WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut, presented a monthly
program, "The Golden Age of Radio," with Dick Bertel and Ed Corcoran.
At the same site you can hear forty-two one hour episodes of another
WTIC program, "A One Night Stand with the Big Bands," with Arnold Dean.
All programs are available for listening or free download; no
registration required. Please let us know how you like the shows.

Subject: Partially transcribed
An example of partially transcribed would be a syndicated series ,
like "Box 13"or "Bold Venture" and many others, that were sent to
various radio stations with no commercials. The local radio station
wold sell local commercials that were added live by the local announcers.
A modern example of partial;y transcribed is "Twilight Zone" the
program has some national products and some local sponsors.
