America’s OTR – Mystery Theater Radio

America’s OTR – Mystery Theater Radio focuses on radio plays as they were common in American radio during the pre-war and post-war periods. “OTR” stands for Old-Time Radio, the era when crime dramas, thrillers, and series episodes were broadcast live and filled evenings spent in front of the receiver.

The station from the USA classifies its programming in the Oldies genre and focuses on mystery: crime stories and detective series from the early days of radio broadcasting. The narrative, the voices of the actors, and the classic sound effects that draw the listener into the plot take center stage. Those looking for music will find the art of storytelling here rather than hits from past decades.
