Did any other members of the radio cast follow the show to
television?

   Nope, just Young.
   The radio cast was: June Whitly as Margaret, Rhoda Williams as Betty,
Ted Donaldson as Bud, and Norma Jean Nilsson as Kathy.  (Dunning, [removed]).
   My guess is the cast didn't "look right" for the tv series.

 From Those Were The Days

8/28

1922   The first paid commercial to be broadcast on radio was heard on
WEAF in New York City. Announcer [removed] Blackwell spoke about Hawthorne
Court, a group of apartment buildings in Queens, New York. The
Queensboro Realty Company, of Jackson Heights, bought what was called
Toll Broadcasting. WEAF, owned by AT&T, sold their block programming,
five one minute programs, one a day for five days, for $50 ($729 in 2016
dollars) plus long distance toll fees. The Queensboro Realty Company
paid $100 ($1458 in 2016 *) for 10 minutes of commercial airtime.

  From The [removed]

1938    The first degree given to a ventriloquist's dummy is awarded to
Charlie McCarthy  Edgar Bergen's wooden partner. The honorary degree,
"Master of Innuendo and Snappy Comeback," is presented on radio by Ralph
Dennis, the dean of the School of Speech at Northwestern University.

8/30

1951   Screen Directors' Playhouse was heard for the final time on NBC.
The program had featured some of the biggest stars in Hollywood.

1941   The Great Gildersleeve, a spin off of Fibber McGee and Molly,
started on NBC.

1942   "Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!"
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound ... the caped crusader
returned to radio on the Mutual Broadcasting System. Superman had been
dropped from the program schedule earlier in the year, but the outrage
of youngsters brought the show back to the airwaves. Wow! The amazing
power of Kryptonite in the hands of kids! Bud Collyer, later of TV's
Beat the Clock, played Clark Kent aka Superman on the series.

9/1

1922   The first daily news program on radio was The Radio Digest, on
