Whispering
Rose Radio is neither a "Non-Profit" nor a
"Not-For-Profit"... Would that we were one of them. If anything, we are a
"No-Profit Here." Bottom line is we need some support.
Donations will simply help us remain on air, and are not tax deductible.
Sorry about that. |

Sears Radio Theater (SRT)
was an anthology series of radio drama which ran weeknightly on
CBS Radio in
1979,
sponsored by the department-store chain; in its second year,
1980, it
moved to the
Mutual Broadcasting System and became the Mutual Radio Theater;
the MBS series was repeats from the CBS run, until September of 1980,
when a short season of new dramas was presented. The Mutual run was
still most often sponsored by Sears. Often paired with The
CBS Radio Mystery Theater on those stations which cleared it in
its first season, the SRT offered a different genre of drama for
each day's broadcast.
Monday was "Western Night" and was hosted by
Lorne Greene. Tuesday was "Comedy Night", hosted by
Andy Griffith. Wednesday was "Mystery Night" with
Vincent Price as host. Thursday was "Love And Hate Night" with
Cicely Tyson doing honors as host. Finally, Friday brought
"Adventure Night", first hosted by
Richard Widmark and later by
Howard Duff. Though less long-lived than
NPR's
Earplay
or the Mystery Theater, it was an ambitious if not particularly
critically-favored attempt to reinvigorate a neglected field.
