Back in the golden age of radio drama there were programs such as "Yours truly, Johnny Dollar," essentially versions of film noir detective stories. Even Gunsmoke was really "radio noir," set in the post-civil war west.

This afternoon I heard (on Free FM) a radio version of the dreadful TV show "Cheaters." It was interesting briefly because of all the sound, but however high quality the audio, there was no art. Yes, there's a great bass/baritone narrator but no genuine dialogue, a predictable plot and story; just "reality" (does cheaters ever err?) radio, no real suspense (there will be a fight) and really horrible writing - if any.

Is this a new trend?

If there's a market for Cheaters Radio is there a market for radio drama/comedy?

Cheaters is a brokered show on television. It almost seems as Free FM has been thrown away by CBS. No promotion...no nothing... The latest ratings seems to reflect this laissez faire attitude as well.

(BTW, Garrett, thanks for channeling the spirit of Kim with your rather authoritarian comment. Gotta get ready for those school kids, I guess)
 
Yes, I was listening to 103.7 FM when I heard it.

Is this thing airing on other CBS FM's?

How is this topic specifically related to San Diego? Were you talking about Free FM 103.7?
