The Lone Ranger started on radio, but he later moved to serial movies
and TV, and there were also a couple feature films starring Clayton
Moore.
The Shadow started as a "radio host" character for the Detective
Story Hour radio show. He later moved to pulp magazines, and then he
got his own dramatic series. At some point, several films were made,
including at least one serial.
I believe Captain Midnight started on radio. I don't know if he was
ever on TV.
