KGSM Productions - The War of the Worlds

Mon, 02/04/2008 - 12:29pm — Greg Boone

60:00 minutes (54.93 MB)

In 1938, CBS Radio's Mercury Theater for the Air broadcast an adaptation of H.G. Wells' novel, The War of the Worlds during what would have been the prime time of the later 30s.  The original program was structured like an ordinary evening of radio with random breaking news bulletins informing the public of an invading martian army.  Details of the calamity are slowly revealed and eventually the story breaks into chaos and the news anchors turn the broadcast over to government authorities.  People listening to this broadcast were deeply disturbed by this broadcast, especially by the end when the theater's director Orson Welles reveals this whole thing is a joke.  Wells was called a radio terrorist by the FCC and thousands of letters were sent to the FCC and CBS condemning the broadcast.
