More than 1,400 programs from the Golden Age of Radio are available for download for the first time thanks to an exclusive alliance between MSN® Music and MediaBay Inc., with its extraordinary RadioClassics catalog. The shows from RadioClassics, which are available for download from MSN Music (http://music.msn.com) in the United States, include classic dramas, mysteries, detective stories, comedies, westerns, science fiction and adventure stories from the 1930s to the 1960s. The catalog features timeless programs such as "The War of the Worlds," "The Adventures of Superman," "Gunsmoke," "The Shadow" (75th Anniversary) and "The Jack Benny Show." Most shows are 30 minutes in length, and most will cost 99 cents (U.S.) to download.
To celebrate the addition of the RadioClassics collection, MSN Music will webcast a different RadioClassics show free each day the week of March 7. These free webcasts will offer listeners unfamiliar with these old-time radio shows an introduction to this remarkable catalog while giving older listeners a chance to reconnect with the radio shows they loved as kids. The webcasts will also give families the opportunity to take part in the digital version of gathering around the "radio" on a winter night.
