Initial Airing Of Jim French Shows On Seattle Radio ------------- 1965 - Present By: Stewart Wright Initial Compilation: 02/01/2002 Last Update: 06/30/2007 Copyright 2007 by Stewart Wright BACKGROUND: Jim French has been writing, directing, and producing radio dramas for Seattle listeners since 1965. He has written and/or produced 689 shows and new shows are being added every month. While most of the shows are episodes of his various series (see SERIES DESCRIPTIONS:), there are 146 stand-alone shows. Until the advent of the syndicated IMAGINATION THEATRE by TransMedia on March 17, 1996, Jim's shows were aired only in the Seattle area. Jim French Productions assumed syndication operations from TransMedia in January, 2007. These shows are syndicated internationally as part of IMAGINATION THEATRE on about 135 radio stations in the United States and Canada. IMAGINATION THEATRE is also heard on XM satellite radio in the United States and worldwide over the Internet. It has only been since late 2000 that new shows initially air on the same date on both the flagship station in Seattle, and the syndicated IMAGINATION THEATRE. Before then, new shows were usually aired on Seattle radio prior to their syndicated IMAGINATION THEATRE initial airing. This log lists the first airing dates of all shows on Seattle radio. If a show was later incorporated into a specific series, the initial airing date as part of that series is also listed. "UMBRELLA TITLES": Over the years, Jim French's shows have aired on four Seattle stations: KVI, KIRO, KNWX, and KIXI. Each of these stations has had an "umbrella title" under which his series and stand-alone shows have been aired. These local "umbrella titles" are: KVI THEATER OF THE MIND on KVI, THE KIRO MYSTERY PLAYHOUSE on KIRO, PEMCO IMAGINATION THEATRE on KNWX, IMAGINATION THEATRE on KNWX, and IMAGINATION THEATRE on KIXI. The beginning and ending dates of these "umbrella title" programs are given later in the Log. SERIES DESCRIPTIONS: The following are brief descriptions of and information about Jim French series. TOWER PLAYHOUSE - A short-run anthology series. The series name came from the fact that the KVI studios were in the Smith Tower Building. Years of Run: 1972. Number of Episodes: 10.

Perhaps Jim's opening, used in the early episodes, best sums up the basic series concept, "Sooner or later, when you least expect it, there comes a point of no return. A dead-end from which there seems no escape. A moment in time. A moment of Crisis!" Years of Run: 1973-77 as CRISIS. See Status: for additional information. Number of Episodes: 152 as CRISIS.
