Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox radio show Hannibal Cobb is an American old-time radio detective drama. It was broadcast on ABC from January 9, 1950 until May 11, 1951.[1]

Format

Hannibal Cobb was a detective who "took an intense personal interest in those for whom he worked."[2] Described at the beginning of each episode as "... a dramatic story of human conflict vividly told ...",[3] Cobb's adventures were reported from the client's viewpoint.

In a radio version of counterprogramming, the program was unique in that it was broadcast in the daytime, when competing networks aired soap operas.[2] In a January 6, 1950, article in The Cincinnati Enquirer, Lane Adams called the scheduling "almost a revolutionary break with hallowed radio precedent."[4]

Hannibal Cobb was based on the Photocrime feature that ran in Look magazine.[5]

Personnel

Santos Ortega portrayed Hannibal Cobb, and Les Griffith was the announcer. Producer/directors were Martin Andrews, William D. Hamilton, Roy LaPlante, and Charles Powers. Writers were Bernard Dougall, Louis Heyward, Ira Marion, and Lillian Schoen.[2]

Television

In 1960, Filmmaster produced a series of 5-minute episodes of a Hannibal Cobb series that starred James Craig.[6] The Video International Productions series was expected to have at least 189 episodes.[7]
