<blockquote><p align="center"><i><u><b><font size="4">ESCAPE</font></b></u></i></p> In the Golden Days of Radio, back in the 1930s to the 1950s, most popular radio series had a set time for going out each week. Occasionally, there might be a change in the schedule, but on the whole a consistent time-slot was something that helped build a large audience and so was something the big networks aimed to achieve.<br /><br />One exception to this rule was the dramatic adventure anthology series called <i>Escape</i>, whose time-slot shifted an incredible eighteen times in its seven-year run from 1947 through to 1954. To make matters even worse it had a habit of coming and going and sometimes disappearing off the schedules altogether at short notice for weeks on end only to resurface weeks later in a completely different timeslot.<br /><br />The quite flagrant disregard CBS paid to having a regular timeslot for <i>Escape</i> could make you think that it was just a run-of-the-mill series
