Charita Bauer (Bert) was pretty good as a radio actress! I remember her fine TV performances from the 70s and 80s, but I never realized how much presence and character her voice carried on the radio.

Thanks for posting!

This was heard weekdays at 1:45-2pm(et), as part of a "block" of Procter & Gamble soap operas. The announcer, for "Duz" detergent, was Bud Collyer. Procter & Gamble began "simulcasting" the series in 1952, producing a separate radio and TV edition on CBS until the radio show was discontinued in 1956. They still produce it today.

@paulj0557 GL began on TV in 1952. Radio and TV broadcast the same script until 1956, when the radio version ended.

So they did TV & radio broadcasts simultaneously? Same script or was 1950 the year they changed from radio to TV? I have uploaded a record that has nothing to do with soaps, but was actually recorded by a soap opera organist for As the World Turns. John Winters was the substitute organist for Charles Paul from 1956 to 1973. Before this he was organist for the Young Widder Brown radio drama series from 38' to 56'.

Album is 'Organ Moods John Winters at the Mighty Wurlitzer' side 1, &2
