Front Page Farrell
''Front Page Farrell'' is an American old-time radio program that was broadcast on Mutual from June 23, 1941 to March 13, 1942, and on NBC from September 14, 1942, to March 26, 1954. The episodes broadcast on Mutual originated at WOR, making the program the first live serial that Mutual broadcast from New York City. Format In its early years, ''Front Page Farrell'' was much like other soap operas in that it focused on the domestic situations of a married couple, David and Sally Farrell. David Farrell was a newspaper reporter, and in the 1950s, the program's focus shifted more to his work, such as "hard-hitting tales of murder investigations as Farrell tracked cold-blooded killers." Each of Farrell's investigations of crimes usually began on Monday and concluded on Friday, which aided infrequent listeners. Episodes Typical examples of ''Front Page Farrell'' cases (each solved within one week) included: *"The Deep-Freezer Murder Case", in which a department store executive's body ...
