Nick Carter, Master Detective Old Time Radio Program Nick Carter, Master Detective With Lon Clark in the title role, the series began April 11, 1943, on Mutual, continuing in many different timeslots for well over a decade. Between October 1944 and April 1945, it was heard as a 30-minute program on Sunday afternoons at 3pm, sponsored by Acme Paints and Lin-X, with a 15-minute serial airing four or five times a week in 1944 from April to September. In April 1945, the Sunday series moved to 6pm, continuing in that timeslot until June 1946, and it was also heard in 1946 on Tuesday from March to August. Sponsored by Cudahy Packing and Old Dutch Cleanser and later Acme Products (makers of such home-improvement chemicals as Kem-Tone paints and Linux floor-cleaning waxes[a near-rival to the more-popular Johnson's Wax products heard on numerous NBC Radio shows at the same time]), the series finally settled in on Sundays at 6:30pm for broadcasts from August 18, 1946 to September 21, 1952. Libby Packing was the sponsor when the drama aired on Sundays at 6pm (1952-53). In the last two years (1953-55) of the long run, the show was heard Sundays at 4:30pm. Jock MacGregor was the producer-director of scripts by Alfred Bester, Milton J. Kramer, David Kogan and others. Background music was supplied by organists Hank Sylvern, Lew White and George Wright. Walter B. Gibson, co-creator/writer of The Shadow pulp novels, was fired when he asked for a raise in 1946, and then became head writer for the Nick Carter radio series. Oddly enough, he never liked to write scripts for the radio-version of The Shadow, though both characters were published by Street & Smith. Patsy Bowen, Nick's assistant, was portrayed by Helen
Choate until mid-1946 and then Charlotte Manson stepped into the
role. Nick and Patsy's friend was reporter Scubby Wilson (John Kane).
Nick's contact at the police department was Sgt. Mathison (Ed Latimer).
The supporting cast included Raymond Edward Johnson, Bill Johnstone
and Bryna Raeburn. Michael Fitzmaurice was the program's announcer.
The series ended on September 25, 1955. text from wikipedia
