Suspense
The Early Years
June 1942 - November 1943
von
Suspense was a long-running dramatic anthology on CBS that began in the summer of 1942 and continued until September 30, 1962. It became one of radio's most successful series, known for its exceptional writing and high production standards. The series gained significant attention after the May 1943 broadcast of the play Sorry, Wrong Number.
In December 1943, Suspense secured its first national sponsor, Roma Wines, which lasted until November 1947. The show continued without a sponsor for a few months before returning to a half-hour format with a new sponsor, Auto-Lite, in July 1948. The program featured Hollywood's biggest stars, often playing against type, and was held to a high standard of dramatic performance.
