When the war was over, and the GIs returned, audiences craved more dramatic programming. To fill this void, radio producers began to promote macabre and terrifying thrillers including shows like Inner Sanctum Mysteries, Lights Out, and Obsession.Obsession was produced independently by C. P. 'Chick' MacGregor, and its first episode aired on October 9, 1950. It began on WBBM, Chicago as a filler until January 15, 1951, when Obsession earned its own time slot. The program lasted only seventeen months. Its final broadcast aired May True Blue Crime Daniel McCarty Listen along as a seventeen year veteran of Law Enforcement and Crime Scene Investigation covers some of the most interesting crimes of the last 100 years.
