Buck Rogers - Licensing Works

Radio Serial (1932-1947)
Three years after bringing science fiction to the world of
comic strips, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century became
the first science fiction show on radio with its debut on
CBS Radio November 7, 1932.
Originating from New York and broadcast four times
weekly for 15 years, from 1932 to 1947 (initially at 7:15
P.M. and later moving to an earlier "children's hour”). In
an era before television, the 15 minute daily
episodes had a built-in audience of newspaper readers
who tuned in by the millions.
The Buck Rogers radio show was heavily crosspromoted
by its many sponsors – Kelloggs, Cocomalt,
Cream of Wheat and Popsicle.
Buck Rogers will soon be back to radio in all new 30-
minute radio dramas broadcast by The Colonial Radio
Theater On The Air on XM Sirius Satellite Radio.
