CBS Radio Mystery Theater

In 1974 long-time radio producer Himan Brown convinced CBS to green-light a new anthology of radio dramas, CBS Radio Mystery Theater (CBSRMT). Radio drama had been declared "dead" 12 years before (the last broadcasts of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, and Suspense were in Sept. 1962). With TV being the shiny cash-cow that it was, it is surprising Brown was able to convince CBS executives to dedicate resources and an hour of air time to a radio project in 1974.
