==Radio== {{main|The Collier Hour}} [[File:Colliers-Radio-1930.jpg|thumb|The uncredited ensemble presenting ''[[The Collier Hour]]'' in a feature story by [[John B. Kennedy (journalist)|John B. Kennedy]], associate editor of ''Collier's'' in 1930]] The circulation battle with ''[[The Saturday Evening Post]]'' led to the creation of ''[[The Collier Hour]]'', broadcast 1927β32 on the [[Blue Network|NBC Blue Network]]. It was radio's first major dramatic anthology series, adapting stories and serials from ''Collier's''. The hour-long program initially aired on the Wednesday before weekly publication, but switched to Sundays to avoid spoilers with stories that appeared simultaneously in the magazine. In 1929 the program began to incorporate music, news, sports and comedy with the dramatic content of the show.<ref name="dunningota">{{cite book |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=EwtRbXNca0oC&dq=%22The+Collier+Hour,+the+first%22&pg=PA163 |last=Dunning |first=John |author-link=John Dunning (detective fiction author) |title=On the Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio |date=1998 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY |isbn=978-0-19-507678-3 |pages=163β164 |edition=Revised |access-date=2019-09-16}}</ref>
