Movie & TV & Radio Detectives
NOV 2003: After Clear Channel Communications bought KNX-1070 in Los Angeles,
they cancelled the 'Drama Hour' broadcasts of old-time radio programs,
which included "Dragnet", "Sam Spade", "Philip Marlowe" and
many comedy and adventure programs. These shows are sorely missed by many.
