1/30
1933 The Lone Ranger was heard for the first time.
1/31
1936 The Green Hornet was introduced by its famous theme song, The
Flight of the Bumble Bee. The radio show was first heard on WXYZ in
Detroit, MI on this day. The show stayed on the air for 16 years. The
Green Hornet originated from the same radio station where The Lone
Ranger was performed. You may remember that the title character in The
Green Hornet was really named Britt Reid. He was, in fact, supposed to
be the great nephew of John* Reid, the Lone Ranger. Both popular series
were created by George Trendle and Fran Striker. (*The name of John is
disputed since his first name is believed not to be recorded anywhere).
2/2
1946 The Mutual Broadcasting System presented Twenty Questions for the
first time. Bill Slater was the master of ceremonies.
