[78-L] Panic..or myth? (Hey, it was 73 years ago tonight, too)

[Rodger Holtin]

Today we have channel surfers and they are not a new phenomenon of the TV era (cf "Twisting the Dials" by Hare & Jones - now we have some 78 content, too!)
 
What *ELSE* might have the dial twisters of October 31 1938 have heard at that time?
We've established NBC's superiority and CBS as the also-ran at that time slot, but what about other networks (Mutual?) or local stations?  I know a lot of the small power stations signed off at dark, and if you had a decent radio there were a lot of clear channel stations available at that time of night, particularly east of the Mississippi.

What's this about War Of The Worlds not causing that much of a panic?
