Theater Five, ABC, 5pm, Five nights a week The age of radio was thought to be mostly over when ABC began broadcasting Theater Five. CBS had cancelled its last radio soap operas on Nov 25, 1960, and the last prime time radio dramas, Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar and Suspense went off the air on Sept 30, 1962. Television was gathering the big advertising money, and radio was on its way to becoming "background noise", providing popular music and occasional news reports. ABC was the youngest of the big Four radio networks. In fact, it was the product of NBCs domination, which was struck down by Federal Anti-trust regulation, forcing NBC to get rid of its Blue Network. So, there is no reason for Theater Five to have worked, except for two things, Talent, and Determination. Theater Five managed to capture all the technical and production expertise from radio’s golden age and put it together for a final great production. the daily half hour dramas came in many different genres; social commentary, Science Fiction, mystery, Horror and Suspense, comedies, fantasies, romance, crime dramas, and human interest stories were all presented. Although Theater Five was about 20 years too late to enjoy a spot as part of the Golden age of Radio Drama, it is a very well-done program, and should be appreciated by fans.

Claudia, which is perhaps better known as Claudia and David, was an old-time radio show based on a series of short stories written by Rose Franken and William Brown Meloney, which appeared in Redbook magazine. The program was a soap opera centered on newlyweds David and Claudia Naughton. It followed the problems and the successes, big and small, of an average newly married couple, including the need for thrift, having an overhanded mother-in-law, and all those charming little moments of life. The program began as a skit on The Kate Smith Hour in 1941 and was expanded into a full summer series a month later. In those original shows, Claudia was played by Patricia Ryan and David by Richard Kollmar. Franken and Meloney's stories were collected into books that were adapted into a pair of RKO films, Claudia in 1943 and Claudia and David in 1946. Both films starred Robert Young and Dorothy McGuire. The success of the films prompted Coca-Cola to sponsor a 15-minute syndicated weekday radio program in the 1947-1948 season, starring Kathryn Bard and Paul Crabtree. Syndicated version Claudia and David were brought back to radio in 1947 with a new cast, a new sponsor, and a new means of distribution. Katharine Bard and Paul Crabtree played Claudia and David, and Peggy Allenby played Mrs. Brown. The program was sponsored by Coca-Cola and distributed via Electrical transcription. It originated at WGN in Chicago. Claudia and David are an American old-time radio drama. One version was broadcast on CBS July 4, 1941 - September 26, 1941, and another was syndicated in 1947. Background Claudia and David were first heard on radio in a segment on the June 6, 1941, episode of The Kate Smith Hour. At that time, Claudia had just fallen in love with David. When Smith's program went off for the summer, the 10-minute segments were expanded to fill her time slot. The couple's wedding occurred on the July 11, 1941, episode. The characters first appeared in 10 short stories by Rose Franken that were published in Redbook magazine from October 1938 through August 1939. Claudia, the Story of a Marriage, a book that included those stories and additional material, was published in 1939. It was followed by other books about the couple. Premise The program focused on the lives of David and Claudia Naughton, a young married couple. At 18, Claudia's close ties to her mother threatened the future of her marriage to David. The couple also had to deal with financial problems, getting used to each other, and other adjustments typical of a new marriage. In the first episode, David's life was threatened by a sudden illness, resulting in increased tension between David's mother and the rest of the family, while it strengthened the bonds among David, Claudia, and her mother.

It followed the problems and the successes, big and small, of an average newly married couple, including the need for thrift, having an overhanded mother-in-law, and all those charming little moments of life. The program began as a skit on The Kate Smith Hour in 1941 and was expanded into a full summer series a month later. In those original shows, Claudia was played by Patricia Ryan and David by Richard Kollmar. Franken and Meloney's stories were collected into books that were adapted into a pair of RKO films, Claudia in 1943 and Claudia and David in 1946. Both films starred Robert Young and Dorothy McGuire. The success of the films prompted Coca-Cola to sponsor a 15-minute syndicated weekday radio program in the 1947-1948 season, starring Kathryn Bard and Paul Crabtree. Syndicated version Claudia and David were brought back to radio in 1947 with a new cast, a new sponsor, and a new means of distribution. Katharine Bard and Paul Crabtree played Claudia and David, and Peggy Allenby played Mrs. Brown. The program was sponsored by Coca-Cola and distributed via Electrical transcription. It originated at WGN in Chicago. Claudia and David are an American old-time radio drama. One version was broadcast on CBS July 4, 1941 - September 26, 1941, and another was syndicated in 1947. Background Claudia and David were first heard on radio in a segment on the June 6, 1941, episode of The Kate Smith Hour. At that time, Claudia had just fallen in love with David. When Smith's program went off for the summer, the 10-minute segments were expanded to fill her time slot. The couple's wedding occurred on the July 11, 1941, episode. The characters first appeared in 10 short stories by Rose Franken that were published in Redbook magazine from October 1938 through August 1939. Claudia, the Story of a Marriage, a book that included those stories and additional material, was published in 1939. It was followed by other books about the couple. Premise The program focused on the lives of David and Claudia Naughton, a young married couple. At 18, Claudia's close ties to her mother threatened the future of her marriage to David. The couple also had to deal with financial problems, getting used to each other, and other adjustments typical of a new marriage. In the first episode, David's life was threatened by a sudden illness, resulting in increased tension between David's mother and the rest of the family, while it strengthened the bonds among David, Claudia, and her mother.

Theater Five, ABC, 5pm, Five nights a week The age of radio was thought to be mostly over when ABC began broadcasting Theater Five. CBS had cancelled its last radio soap operas on Nov 25, 1960, and the last prime time radio dramas, Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar and Suspense went off the air on Sept 30, 1962. Television was gathering the big advertising money, and radio was on its way to becoming "background noise", providing popular music and occasional news reports. ABC was the youngest of the big Four radio networks. In fact, it was the product of NBCs domination, which was struck down by Federal Anti-trust regulation, forcing NBC to get rid of its Blue Network. So, there is no reason for Theater Five to have worked, except for two things, Talent, and Determination. Theater Five managed to capture all the technical and production expertise from radio’s golden age and put it together for a final great production. the daily half hour dramas came in many different genres; social commentary, Science Fiction, mystery, Horror and Suspense, comedies, fantasies, romance, crime dramas, and human interest stories were all presented. Although Theater Five was about 20 years too late to enjoy a spot as part of the Golden age of Radio Drama, it is a very well-done program, and should be appreciated by fans.
