Thanks for stopping by A Mind Forever Wandering Old Time Radio (or AMFWOTR for short), a blog devoted to the enjoyment of the wonderful but sometimes forgotten magic of radio entertainment. You’ll find some of the best classic shows right here, with new posts each and every day!
You may be wondering what has happened to the new updates and many of the shows you’ve began to visit the website for like Jack Benny, Burns and Allen, Gangbusters and so on. Well I have been advised that Radio Spirits claims to own the copyright on these shows and many others. Until I can find out if their claims are true (or simply a result of falling profits for their OTR CD sales and they’re bandying about idle threats) I’m holding off on posting any further shows and have broken the links to the episodes and programs in question.
I apologize for the inconvenience but I’d rather be safe than sorry and have to go through all the hard work putting the site together from scratch again. Or having to deal with lawyers… Hopefully this will be resolved soon!
