Starting in July 2017, new episodes of The Adventures of Harry Nile and The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes are being produced on a less frequent basis. These episodes will only be broadcast on Seattle radio station KIXI and they will be available for listening on the Imagination Theatre YouTube channel. BACKGROUND: Jim French wrote, directed, and produced radio dramas for Seattle listeners beginning in1965. Prior to the advent of the weekly, syndicated Imagination Theatre by TransMedia on March 17, 1996, Jim's shows were usually only aired in the Seattle, WA area. In January, 2007 Jim French Productions assumed syndication operations from TransMedia. Imagination Theatre most recently aired on KIXI in Seattle and until February 26, 2017. It was syndicated internationally as Imagination Theatre on radio stations in the United States and New Zealand. It was also heard around the world over the Internet via the websites of various radio affiliates and Jim French Productions. Since Jim‛s Death in 2017, his former production manager, Larry Albert, has produced 16 additional shows. Effective September 11, 2016 selected episodes of The Adventures of Harry Nile, The Classic Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes are airing on the Sirius/XM satellite RadioClassics Channel Page 1 of 74 April 30, 2019 #148. "UMBRELLA TITLES": Imagination Theatre is an "umbrella title" under which the various series and stand-alone shows of Jim French and others air Over the years, Imagination Theatre shows have aired on three Seattle flagship stations: KIRO, KNWX, and KIXI. Each station has had one or more "umbrella titles" under which Imagination Theatre has been aired. These local "umbrella titles" are: KIRO Mystery Playhouse on KIRO 12/16/1990 - 02/21/1999, PEMCO Imagination Theatre on KNWX 02/21/1999 - 03/19/2000, Imagination Theatre on KNWX 03/26/2000 - 01/05/2003, and Imagination Theatre on KIXI 01/12/2003 - 02/26/2017. Jim French‛s Imagination Theatre on KIXI 07/07/2017 - Present. PROGRAM FORMAT: The syndicated version of Imagination Theatre occupied a 55-minute time slot. Usually two shows were aired on Imagination Theatre weekly. Frequently, the second show was one that had been previously aired on Imagination Theatre. Occasionally, a single, double-length Jim French-produced show was aired in the time slot. (For a listing of the Jim French double-length show that have aired on Imagination Theatre, see EPISODE NOTES: Double-Length Episodes. Episodes of non-Jim French–produced series, Louis L'Amour Theatre and many episodes of Powder River, are double-length shows. Programming Note: It was only since late 2000 that initial airings of newly produced shows normally occur during the same broadcast week 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. The syndicated Imagination Theatre aired on Sunday evenings on the flagship station in Seattle. Affiliate radio stations selected when they air the series.

  • Mystery on Baker Street
    MYSTERY ON BAKER STREET BRUTAL KAZAKH OFFICIAL LINKED TO £147M LONDON PROPERTY EMPIRE Big chunks of Baker Street are owned by a mysterious figure with close ties to a former Kazakh secret police chief accused of murder and money-laundering. JULY 2015 1 MYSTERY ON BAKER STREET Brutal Kazakh official linked to £147m London property empire EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The ability to hide and spend suspect cash overseas is a large part of what makes serious corruption and organised crime attractive. After all, it is difficult to stuff millions under a mattress. You need to be able to squirrel the money away in the international financial system, and then find somewhere nice to spend it. Increasingly, London’s high-end property market seems to be one of the go-to destinations to give questionable funds a veneer of respectability. It offers lawyers who sell secrecy for a living, banks who ask few questions, top private schools for your children and a glamorous lifestyle on your doorstep. Throw in easy access to anonymously-owned offshore companies to hide your identity and the source of your funds and it is easy to see why Rakhat Aliyev. (Credit: SHAMIL ZHUMATOV/X00499/Reuters/Corbis) London’s financial system is so attractive to those with something to hide. Global Witness’ investigations reveal numerous links This briefing uncovers a troubling example of how between Rakhat Aliyev, Nurali Aliyev, and high-end London can be used by anyone wanting to hide London property.

  • Elementary, My Dear Readers
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Elementary, My Dear Readers NCIS (which stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is an extremely popular “police procedural” television drama that has spun off as a New Orleans series. NCIS: New Orleans, which airs Tuesday nights on CBS, is set in the Crescent City and it would be highly unusual if you haven’t seen the show filming around town. It premiered on September 23, 2014. The episodes revolve around a fictional team of agents led by Special Agent Dwayne Cassius “King” Pride, Special Agent Christopher LaSalle, and Special Agent Meredith Brody. They handle criminal investigations involving the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. If the NCIS team seems to be everywhere you look these days, allow yourself to travel back in literary time and imagine another famous detective team present all around you. Even if their bailiwick was late Victorian England, I seem to feel their presence all around this historic city. Perhaps you will, too. Arthur Conan Doyle penned his first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet, in novel form in 1886 at the age of 27. In it Holmes expounded: “Criminal cases are continually hinging upon that one point. A man is suspected of a crime months perhaps after it has been committed. His linen or clothes are examined and brownish stains discovered upon them. Are they blood stains, or mud stains, or rust stains, or fruit stains, or what are they? That is a question which has puzzled many an expert, and why? Because there was no reliable test.

  • Convergence Culture Reconsidered
    Reconsidering Transmedia(l) Worlds Nicole Gabriel, Bogna Kazur, and Kai Matuszkiewicz 1. Introduction “Any thoughtful study of contemporary transmedia must start with the vital caveat that transmedia is not a new phenomenon, born of the digital age.” (Jason Mittell 2014, 253; emphasis in the original) To begin with, we would like to agree with the general sentiment of Mittell’s statement: ‘transmedia,’ which Mittell seems to use as an abbreviation of the term ‘transmediality,’ is not a new phenomenon. But can it really be a mere coincidence that these two terms and other related concepts such as ‘transmedial worlds’ have been introduced and extensively discussed in academic discourses since the early 2000s, less than ten years after the introduction of home computers and the inter- net to numerous private households, and at about the same time as the Web 2.0 came into existence? We do not think so. Rather, we believe that the increasing research interest of media studies in these phenomena and the various concepts used in this research field are indicators of a fundamental change in (trans)media culture that is a result of the emergence of digital technologies as well as their mas- sive influence on our everyday lives. The aims of this paper are to take a closer look at the terminology used to de- scribe different phenomena in the field of transmedia studies, to differentiate be- tween these terms and concepts and render them more precise, and to put trans- media(l) worlds into a historical context through the analysis of three case studies: the transmedial universe of Sherlock Holmes, the Alien saga, and the transmedial world of The Legend of Zelda.

W. Hornung, 1899 E. W. Hornung has some thing in common with Arthur Conan Doyle. They both authored over a dozen serious literary novels, but their lasting fame came through their light ‘entertainments’, Mr. Hornung for Raffles, and Mr. Doyle for Holmes. Another thing they had in common was Mr. Doyle’s sister, Connie. Mr. Hornung made her his wife. A. J. Raffles, the gentleman thief, was popular from the first publication in 1899. Raffles was first featured in a film in 1905, a silent film, and he has starred in films and television shows ever since. If you read the stories from beginning to end, you’ll see something very interesting. Mr. Hornung progresses Raffles’s deeply flawed character along it’s inevitable path to his self-destruction.

    The Escape! Radio Program Dee-Scription: Home >> D D Too Home >> Radio Logs >> Escape! Background Dramas of escape, romance and adventure comprised a great deal of the drama anthologies during the Golden Age of Radio. One might well make the argument that adventure dramas broadcast over one canon or another throughout the era were among the top five most popular genres of the era. They also found their way into any number of adventure productions, a sampling of which follow: 1930 World Adventures 1931 Strange Adventure 1932 Bring'em Back Alive 1932 Captain Diamond’s Adventures 1932 Captain Jack 1932 The Elgin Adventurer's Club 1932 World Adventurer's Club 1933 The Stamp Adventurer’s Club 1935 The Desert Kid 1935 Magic Island 1937 The Cruise of The Poll Parrot 1937 True Adventures 1937 Your Adventurers 1939 Imperial Intrigue 1939 The Order of Adventurers 1940 Thrills and Romance 1941 Adventure Stories 1942 Road to Danger 1942 The Whistler 1943 Escape From . 1943 Foreign Assignment 1943 Romance 1944 Adventure Ahead 1944 Dangerously Yours 1944 Stories of Escape 1944 The Man Called 'X' 1944 Vicks Matinee Theater 1945 Adventure 1946 Tales of Adventure 1947 Adventure Parade 1947 Escape! 1947 High Adventure 1947 The Adventurer's Club 1948 This Is Adventure 1949 Dangerous Assignment 1950 Stand By for Adventure 1952 Escape with Me 1953 The Adventurer 1974 CBS Radio Mystery Theater 1977 General Mills Radio Adventure Theater 1977 CBS Radio Adventure Theater Announcement of Escape to air in the summer of 1947 During an era when the word 'romance' still implied adventure as well as emotional and physical passion, the words 'romance' and 'adventure' were often viewed as synonymous with each other in the titles of hundreds of Radio canons of both the earliest and latest Golden Age Radio broadcasts.
