O ld Time Radio Hobbyist

Welcome to my website and trading post. This site is offered as a non-profit website.
This site offers a couple of radio shows for your listening pleasure, as well as an OTR Web Creator tool that I have written to generate web pages.

	Home of OTR Web Creator:
	A windows based tool for generating OTR web pages. Planning on adding my config file with show descriptions etc. for download. Only requirement is that they are for personal use only not for use on internet. You may use my program to generate internet pages as long as you create your own config files. Config files include Show Description and photos.

	Some OTR Trivia:
	Jack Benny died on December 26, 1975 at the age of 39. He was one of the most popular entertainers on radio between 1932 and 1955. Sears Roebuck started radio station WLS in Chicago in early 1924. WLS stood for World's Largest Store. In 1920 Westinghouse founded the nation's firts radio station KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pa. AT&T started WEAF New York, Ny. in 1922. NBC was born in 1926 when RCA bought WEAF from AT&T for $1 Million. CBS was founded in 1927 by the Columbia Phonograph Company. Batman & Robin started as a radio show before it became a comic strip. Many Superman characters, Copyboy Jimmy Olsen, editor Perry White, Inspector Henderson and the Daily Planet newspaper originated on the air. Escape which aired on CBS from July 7, 1947 through September 25, 1954 is generally regarded as radio's greatest adventure anthology. Suspense was the longest running dramatic series in the history of radio.

	What Happened to OTR:

	OTR is really radio drama and it still exists. On Radio the BBC has revived radio drama with its launch of Radio 7. Well if you not in London you can listen on the internet at www.bbc.co.uk/radio then select listen to radio 7. You will need a Real Audio player for this. BBC Radio 7 also has many on demand programs. So enjoy. I know I do.
