Radio Broadcast Log Of:
The Weird Circle

This 30 minute ZIV syndicated anthology horror series is hard to give exact dates for, since it was syndicated around the country and heard over several different networks, dates, times and under different sponsorship. Jay Hickerson work on this series indicated that it was first heard in November of 1943, but further research places the start in August of 1943. We think that is a correct date, but we’re not positive. At best, the following dating should be taken as reference dates as we may never know the exact dates. The series originated from New York City and is complete in 78 broadcasts.
