From out of the West comes Red Ryder, America's famous fighting cowboy!
Reed Hadley is Red Ryder and Frank Bresee is Little Beaver. Red Ryder's horse Thunder is played by sound effects. You betchum!
Red Ryder, based on the popular comic strip, hit the radio airwaves on February 3, 1942, appearing three times a week on the Blue Network, heard only in the East. The show proved to be more popular in the ratings than The Lone Ranger at first. The show then picked up a sponsor, Langendorf Bread, which was sold only in the West, and the show moved to the West Coast Don Lee Network toward the middle of 1942.
Enjoy this early episode.
