The highly popular KNX Drama Hour saw three new shows added to the lineup beginning January 1, according to station news director Robert Sims:
"Fort Laramie" is a western drama starring Raymond Burr as Lee Quince, captain of the cavalry at Fort Laramie, on the Wyoming frontier. The series was originally broadcast on the CBS Radio Network in 1956 and will replace "The 6 Shooter" this summer.
"The Phil Harris/Alice Faye Show," starring bandleader Harris along with film star Alice Faye, originally aired from 1946 to 1948 on NBC. It is a zany comedy series not unlike the "Jack Benny Show" which also featured Phil Harris. It will be replaced by the "Burns & Allen Show" this summer.
"This Is Your FBI" was first heard on the ABC Radio Network in 1945. The crime drama series aired through 1953. In many of the shows Stacy Harris stars as Jim Taylor, FBI Special Agent. The rest of the cast is extensive and from both coasts (the series was first produced in New York before moving to Hollywood in 1948).
