Night Transmissions is a 120 minute show featuring vintage radio shows. Focusing on programs of the fantastic such as âEscapeâ, âLights Outâ and âX Minus Oneâ. It is transnational in its sourcing with shows from From England, Canada and South Africa. Wherever I can find shows in English and the public domain. Also, I include other appropriately licensed audio recordings (Short story and poetry readings).
This is a weekly program airing on KSOW 106.7 FM in Cottage Grove, OR. as part of the stations commitment to sustaining the tradition great radio theater. I will post a new show by Tuesday or Wednesday of each week.
In the main, each episode consists of four approximately 30-minute long programs (not always, as sometimes I use a longer form show, so it may be 3 or fewer) and some filler to bring them in at 120 minutes.
Broadcast Advisories
Use these programs in any way that suits you, commercial, non-commercial (well,don't sell it). Use them on your low power FM station or your AM station. Stream it on your internet station or stream. Whatever. Edit them if you want to, however you want to! I'm easy. In a few cases commercials have been left in but in those cases there is disclaimer stating that they are there for "historical perspective" only. I have edited out any underwriter spots that once existed. There is no comment about run times ( i.e. "It's Sunday night at 10 pm and this is Night Transmissions.") Also I have edited out any mention of the town I live in. In other words I have endeavored to make make these programs as "Evergreen" and global as possible. I would even consider making (at some point) shows that are tailored to some degree for specific locations. In most cases the mp3 file runs a little longer than 120 minutes. However, in all cases the main show comes in at under 120 minutes; anything in excess of 120 minutes is just music that can safely be faded out.
If you do broadcast or stream these I'd really be grateful if you dropped me a note.
This episode contains the following segments...
Segment one is an episode from The Avengers South Africa. In This adventure "Mother" sends John Steed and Emma Peel on an assignment that is, "Not To Be Sneezed At". This segment runs 70 minutes and was probably originally broadcast in 1972 (the exact air date is not known).
Then, once again, we have a go at Escape. This time with an episode from August the 23rd of 1953, "The Man from Tomorrow". Wherein a ex-pilot answers the call for volunteers in a sensory deprivation experiment the point of which is to enhance ESP. I think someone will regret this.
The third and last segment is from The Strange Doctor Weird "Beauty And The Beast". It's from January 16th of 1945 and not really a fairy-tale.
