I don&#8217;t know if he&#8217;s totally correct. You can debate whether the shows made before January 1, 1978 are in the public domain, but those made after January 1, 1978 aren&#8217;t. However, CBS has shown little interest in enforcing its copyright and if CBS doesn&#8217;t care, no one else will either. Even if Mystery Theater were considered &#8220;in the public domain,&#8221; it wouldn&#8217;t matter much for this show as we don&#8217;t really do Anthology shows here.<\/p>\n<p>A couple stage productions of Old Time Radio were in the news. &#8220;Meet me in St. Louis&#8221; was <a href=\"http:\/\/latimesblogs.latimes.com\/culturemonster\/2009\/10\/theater-review-meet-me-in-st-louis-by-fake-radio-at-the-lost-theater.html\">premiered<\/a> by &#8220;Fake Radio Los Angeles&#8221; to a generally favorable review in the Times.

The performance featured John DeLancie (and yes, Trekkies, he is &#8220;Q&#8221; from Star Trek: The Next Generation.)<\/p>\n<p>The Journal-Times <a href=\"http:\/\/www.journaltimes.com\/news\/local\/article_831592ae-b75c-11de-b813-001cc4c002e0.html\">reports<\/a>\u00a0on a new radio drama effort. I was amused that they referred to the effort as &#8220;the brand new old-time radio version&#8221; of the Hanna Barbara cartoons, as I don&#8217;t think they realized what a paradox their adjective was. \ud83d\ude42 Still, any brand new radio dramas are welcomed and I have to imagine that Hanna Barbara&#8217;s copyright holders are cooperating, so if you live in the Kenosha, Wisconsin area, you&#8217;re in for a treat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I did a search on Google and found some pretty fascinating Old Time Radio news articles on Google News reader.
