Abstract
On 23 January 1944 at nine p.m. EST, audiences across the country tuned their radios to hear the first in a series of CBC radio dramas, dramas written by and produced for Canadians. Twenty-nine minutes and forty seconds later, the play (aptly titled 29:40) finished, surprising and delighting CBC listeners: Canadian radio finally sounded as slick and professional as any program broadcast from the United States. Over the next few months, mail poured into CBC offices across the country, making the new national radio drama series, Stage ‘44, a resounding success.
