Nightwatch
 |
We’ve heard a lot in recent years about reality television. Well this week, we have an early example of reality radio with a CBS program called NIGHTWATCH. On this show, a reporter rides with the police wearing a hidden wire to capture dialogue and sounds. We’ll also tune in to a FIBBER MCGEE AND MOLLY episode from 1939, and we’ll hear SUSPENSE with Joan Bennett starring in the tale Overture in Three keys.
