Thank you very much Scott, and that may be possible. But the announcer seems to say General Radio the same way you would say CBS radio or NBC radio. The series is Front Page Drama, many episodes of which are in the OTRR Library. If you or anyone else in the group would like to listen to the first two or three minutes of a couple of episodes you should hear the announcement, and that could lead to a conclusive answer to the question of whether a General Radio Network ever existed even for a brief time. Does the fact that the announcer says it existed confirm that it did? Could it have been a regional network?
Best regards,
Larry

Good morning and happy Friday to
everybody!
I have been spot checking an OTR series for
sound quality, and at the beginning of several episodes the
announcer has distinctly said "This is General Radio." This
does not appear to be an instance of syndication in which something
generic will be said that leads to dead air or a musical interlude
that gives local stations time to insert their commercials.
But when I type "General Radio Network" into my browser, nothing
intelligible comes up?
Can any of the many OTR scholars and
collectors in this group provide some information on this?
