One of the radio veterans featured in this episode was Byron Kane. Another was Paula Winslowe.
By October 1973, it was obvious that Jay Kholos couldn’t afford to keep funding new episodes of The Zero Hour thanks to AFTRA’s changing terms. He looked to make a deal with a network. The Mutual Broadcasting System and C. Edward Little were interested.
A deal came together quickly. A press conference announcing the move was set for November 1st. We heard that presser at the beginning of this episode. The Zero Hour would be moving to Mutual on December 17th, 1973.
Before new episodes could be broadcast, Mutual would air the thirteen five-part episodes already directed by Elliott Lewis.
