Old Time Radio: Famous Personages Of The Age

Article Category: Entertainment

If there is one thing you can say about old time radio or OTR is that: there are geniuses during that time who invaded the airwaves, and they have left indelibly marks the face of on-air broadcasting forever. Some of the names of these geniuses have been etched through the annals of history; but there are also a few forgotten souls whose names are less familiar to the modern crowd. Nonetheless, their profound contributions can still be traced through modern radio programming. A few of these geniuses are:

1961. Alan Shepherd. Although not as popular as Neil Armstrong, Alan Shepherd (who was the 1st American in space and 5th man to walk on the surface of the Moon) managed to captivate everyone's attention by broadcasting his flight to the outer space. And listeners showed interest by listening to their car radios, portables or any form of audio receivers. TV broadcasting may have been the big thing during the 60s, but the portability of radios became the craze as well. Old time radio suddenly gained more listeners.

1926. Arthur Bagley. Known as the Network Radio's First Morning Man, Bagley peppered his NBC listeners with his show called Tower Health Exercises and provided funny commentaries with the help of his old time radio sidekick, the Goofus Bird. Soon after that, almost all morning broadcasts followed Bagley's show format.

1940. Bob Hope. Hope has always been a famous actor. But it was in the 1940s when he managed to endear himself to the world, most especially to the troops fighting in the second World War. In the earlier part of the decade, Hope had a running gag on the radio with fellow comedian Jerry Colonna, which made him a common household name.

1945. Dorothy and Dick. If Regis and Kelly were on air back then, Dorothy Kilgallen and Richard Kollmar would have given them a run for their money. This duo had a big number of faithful listeners for several seasons, and may have set the highest standards on the she said / he said dialogues for the old time radio.

1930. Jessica Dragonette. This majestic soprano was incredibly popular with the crowds. But aside from singing the scales effortlessly, Dragonette managed to stay on air despite being constantly at odds with network officials over program formats and sponsors who wanted to have a say in what she was to sing on air. Needless to say, the woman's voice and resolute became legendary.

1930. Sherlock Holmes. One of the more endearing personages of old time radio of America, Sherlock Holmes, voiced over by William Gillette became one of the more successful Great Depression dramas.
