OLD TIME RADIO COLLECTION

Thousands of Old Time Radio series and hundreds of thousands of episodes are still in existence today. Some have been preserved on the original transcription disks from the time the shows were initially broadcast, while others exist on reel-to-reel and cassettes tapes. The introduction of MP3 technology has greatly changed the hobby. Previously, shows were traded in a format such as a cassette or reel-to-reel tape for example. But thanks to MP3s, classic shows from the old time period are now widely available and easily accessible. However, this explosion in availability has brought with it problems. Many MP3 files are incorrectly named or poorly encoded. Today's technology means that these errors are widely distributed.

The mission of the Old Time Radio Researchers Group is to accurately preserve classic old time radio series from the past in order for future generations to enjoy them
