WHAT NETWORK RADIO SHOWS FROM THE 40'S EVENTUALLY MIGRATED TO TV

I know this is a TV board, but radio was going strong when TV was just a baby. I'd be interested to know what shows on radio moved on to TV. As the New York Times printed a TV guide, did they also print a RADIO guide? One would think so. Could someone post such a guide (from like 1945/1948)? If no guide, then which do you recall?

The Jack Benny Program, Amos & Andy, Truth or Consequences, Meet the Press, You Bet Your Life, Our Miss Brooks, Gunsmoke (but with a different cast), just to name a few off the top of my head.
