The
Zero Hour was a 1973 - 74 radio broadcast hosted by Rod Serling.
For the first half of the broadcast's 8 month run, episodes
were broadcast in 5 parts, extending over the course of one
week.
The Zero Hour featured well known actors and actresses each
appearing in week-long episodes. Many of these actors/actresses
were also known for working with Rod Serling on The Twilight
Zone television series.
The second half of the series broadcast a new episode every
day of the week, with the same actor/actress starring over the
course of the week. The series was said to be a year in the
making and premiered on Sep 3, 1973 on most stations. The Mutual
Broadcasting System offered these shows to their member stations
on a syndicated basis, allowing the programs to be aired during
a time period that was convenient, and at a date that was suitable.
For this reason in some areas the series did not begin until
late Fall or early Winter of 1973.
