Night Editor (TV series)

The 15-minute radio program Night Editor debuted on KPO on September 12, 1934, and continued until 1948. Sponsored by Edwards Coffee, the radio series also featured Hal Burdick as the "night editor", a character that Burdick based on R. W. Buchanan, a managing editor for whom Burdick worked. Actor Jack Moyles was also featured on the program, and Burdick's wife, Cornelia, sometimes was heard. Larry Keating was the announcer, and John Ribbs was the producer. Burdick would receive readers’ requests for stories, in a "letter to the editor" format, which he would relate to the audience. The stories varied greatly including tales of war, adventure, crime, and an occasional ghost story. ==Episode status==
