Next, two adventure serials from the same evening of programming, April 20, 1932: "Omar, Wizard of Persia," originally scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on that date, and "Chandu, The Magician," originally scheduled for 8 p.m. Piecing together our fragments from the radio... on Radio Journeys.Comments[0] |

Sun, 2 April 2006 This week, we win OTR collector's Bingo! Three shows all dated Tuesday, April 12, 1932. Here's what was on the radio on that evening, according to actual newspaper radio pages: 6:00 p.m., The Family Doctor (This one's a guess); 6:30 p.m., Omar, Wizard of Persia; 6:45 p.m., Joe Palooka; 8:00 p.m., Chandu, The Magician. This presentation of Omar is especially noteworthy: It is the first time a collector has established a date for the Omar serials, as well as a precise time of day for broadcast. Historic radio, reconstructed from schedules of the day... on Radio Journeys. Comments[0] |
