Salem Radio Network will begin distributing \u201cHollywood 360,\u201d a weekly program featuring restored classic radio shows, to stations nationwide on Nov. 30.<\/p>\n
Hosted by veteran radio producer and historian Carl Amari and co-host Lisa Wolf, the five-hour program combines vintage radio dramas, mysteries, westerns and comedies with contemporary entertainment news and trivia contests.<\/p>\n
The shows feature Hollywood stars including Humphrey Bogart, Lucille Ball, Cary Grant, Bette Davis, Jack Benny, Henry Fonda and Elizabeth Taylor.<\/p>\n
The addition gives Salem Radio Network affiliates flexibility in scheduling the program. Stations can air it as a five-hour weekend broadcast or divide it into five one-hour segments for weekday programming.<\/p>\n
Launched in 2009, \u201cHollywood 360\u201d has grown to more than 100 affiliates nationwide, according to Salem Media. The program draws from Amari\u2019s collection of more than 100,000 half-hour classic radio shows, assembled over nearly four decades. The recordings come from original 16-inch transcription masters, and they have been digitally restored.<\/p>\n
Each weekly edition features five half-hour programs drawn from the golden age of radio. The lineup includes \u201cSuspense,\u201d \u201cSherlock Holmes,\u201d \u201cGunsmoke,\u201d \u201cThe Jack Benny Program,\u201d \u201cThe Whistler,\u201d \u201cEscape,\u201d \u201cSam Spade,\u201d \u201cYours Truly, Johnny Dollar\u201d and \u201cFibber McGee & Molly.\u201d<\/p>\n
