RadioLovers.com Collects Shows Where Copyrights Have Expired

October 19, 2004

Before the days of video games, MTV and the Internet, families used to
gather around the radio to listen to old radio shows.

But when the era of television arrived, many of those old radio shows went
off the air.

Now you can hear all those great old radio programs again on
RadioLovers.com. The site collects hundreds of old-time radio broadcasts
that date so far back that many of their copyrights have expired.

Because of that, you can listen to the old programs as often as you like
without paying anyone a cent.

The list of shows available is long. There are the old comedies such as the
"Abbott and Costello" show and their infamous "Who's on First?" routine.
"Amos and Andy" broadcasts featured here date back to 1928.

There are also dramas such as "The Avenger" and westerns such as "Hopalong
Cassidy," "Gene Autry" and "Death Valley Days."

Even "Batman" was around way back then.

These vintage radio programs are great for any nostalgic grandmother or
grandfather who may want to take a step back in time, but also something
that may be fun to introduce to the young ones to show the visually
stimulated generation what the theater of the mind was all about.

The site is growing and shows are continually being added, but only American
broadcasts are available. Fans of the British "Hitchhikers Guide to the
Galaxy" radio series, for example, will have to go elsewhere.
