The Zero Hour

0

The Zero Hour (aka Hollywood Radio Theater) was a 1973–74 American radio drama anthology series hosted by Rod Serling. With tales of mystery, adventure and suspense, the program was broadcast for two seasons. Some of the scripts were written by Serling. Originally placed into syndication on September 3, 1973, the series was picked up by the Mutual Broadcasting System in December of that year. The original format featured five-part dramas broadcast Monday through Friday with the story coming to a conclusion on Friday. Including commercials, each part was approximately 30 minutes long. Mutual affiliates could broadcast the series in any time slot that they wished. In 1974, still airing five days a week, the program changed to a full story in a single 30-minute installment with the same actor starring throughout the week in all five programs

    Rod Serling! Need I say More?
    These are really great radio dramas from the 1970’s. I was googling some Twilight Zone information and found that Rod Serling had done 2 Seasons of a Radio Show after finishing NIGHT GALLERY. I loved both of his TV Shows and also Old Time Radio so I gave this a listen. This is terrific if you liked Suspense or The CBS Mystery Theatre Radio Shows. As a kid, I would listen on my AM/FM Radio at bedtime and scare myself.
