Old Time Radio (OTR) and Beyond

Welcome to the Golden Age of Radio


Old Time Radio (OTR)

Old Time Radio, or OTR was the dawn of mass entertainment. In the days before television, people of all ages tuned in experience comedy, drama, adventure, and almost every genre of entertainment imaginable.

When television hit the scene in the 1950's, the glory days of radio theater began to slowly fade into history. Fortunately for us, fans of the medium have painstakingly recorded and preserved these OTR shows for further generations to enjoy.

Mostly live recordings, old time radio classics present a window into the rich history of the media. Classic commercials are mostly preserved within the shows, providing a fantastic backdrop and enhancing the original radio experience that gave birth to such greats as Abbott & Costello, Jack Benny, Burns and Allen, Amos and Andy, and the infamous 'War of the Worlds' broadcast.

Online Backup - Backup To The Web

We've recently come across the need to backup multiple computers to support our websites. Originally we had been backing up our files to DVD, but we had no good way to secure them in the event of fire or other disaster. We solved the problem with Online Backup from Backup To The Web. We're now able to backup our system (and this website) automatically. The secured files go to their datacenter in Wichita, KS and are then replicated to their datacenter in Omaha, NE, so we can be sure that our files are always available. If you've never heard of the Online Backup concept, stop by and visit them. They have backup accounts starting as low as $5.99 per month.
