     All sources agree that the radio program MY TRUE STORY had a remarkable
run which began in 1943. The show began on ABC and then switched to Mutual.
But there the agreement ends. Somesources list it as running until 1961,
while others have it surviving until Feb. 1, 1962. There seems to be more
confusion regarding the show's format. Some sources list it as a fifteen
minute daily program which presented a complete story every week. Dunning
claims that it was a half-hour daily program with a complete story each day.
Of course, the format could have changed over the program's 18 or so years.

     But no one comments on the fact that the show ran past 1960. I was under
the impression that from 1960 on, commercial radio dramas were heard only on
CBS. Apparently, I was wrong. Listeners could still tune to MY TRUE STORY on
Mutual, at least through 1961.

     I have never heard an episode of MY TRUE STORY. But surely the show's
long run makes it deserving of some accolades. Can anybody provide
information about this program and how it remained on the air during a time
that was not friendly to radio drama?
