I bet those Johnny Dollars were first-run. I remember WATE-620 Knoxville
running the CBS feed of "Johnny Dollar" and "Suspense" back-to-back Sunday
evenings from 6 to 7 pm in 1961. Wiki says they lasted until September 30,
1962 and were the last of the network radio dramas that had begun in the 1920's.
From later in the century, anybody remember "CBS Mystery Theatre"? "Heartbeat
Theatre", sponsored by the Salvation Army? I played that on LP (cheap
flexivinyl, intended for only one play) every Sunday morning from 6:05 to 6:35
on WGAP-1400 in the early 80's. Produced in L.A. and hosted by Macdonald
Carey, it used professional voice talent (Linda Kaye Henning, Daws Butler,
etc.). It ran from 1956 to 1985. And don't forget the shortwave staple
"Unshackled!", recorded in Chicago and sponsored by Pacific Garden Mission. No
big names here, but it's been running since 1950.

I remember Johnny Dollar reruns as a kid. KIBH Seward AK ran reruns (presumed)
in the early 60s.
The Wifi Radio is amazing. Any format a person wants to listen to. Who cares if
your local station (s) do not have what you like, someone does and most stream.
Fun. Plus no static, no fading, and in many cases full Stereo.
