Favorite Story
Description
Favorite Story was a nationally syndicated old-time radio anthology from 1946 to 1949, adapting literary stories selected by guest celebrities and hosted by Ronald Colman.
Favorite Story is an American old-time radio dramatic anthology. It was nationally syndicated by the Ziv Company from 1946 to 1949. The program was "advertised as a show that 'stands head and shoulders above the finest programs on the air'". Originating at KFI in Los Angeles, California, Favorite Story apparently was not related to the similarly named My Favorite Story that ran on KNX in Los Angeles earlier.
