The Roy Rogers Show
The Roy Rogers Show was a Western radio program built around singer and actor Roy Rogers. The series presented adventures, music, and familiar characters from Rogers' screen and radio persona.
The Roy Rogers Show was a 30-minute Western radio program in the United States. It began in 1944, ended in 1955, and was carried on more than 500 stations. Because of demands on Rogers' time for personal appearances and making films, the show was one of the first radio series to be transcribed.
