In the early years of radio, there were some unusual programs produced by local stations.

“Manslaughter Trials Dramatized”

KVOD, Denver, has offered another safety campaign to its listeners. New feature, entitled “The Judge Tells His Story,” dramatizes actual manslaughter trials of persons taken into criminal court for killing someone with an automobile. Program is heard each Wednesday at 8:45 p.m. Mountain Time. The scenes open in the home of Judge Gilliam, who supposedly is entertaining Ginsberg each Wednesday evening. Then, at the crucial moment, the scene shifts to a courtroom where the persons accused are on trial. Testimony with direct relation to the case is carefully gone over by Harry Hill, KVOD News Editor, and incorporated into the programs. The KVOD Players, under the direction of Jay Daniels, and including Dorothy Mendelsohn, Victoria Doherty, C. Norman Lasky, and Preston Frenzel, handle the programs.”

KVOD AM later become KHOW. The KVOD call letters would be adopted by KDEN FM in 1969 when the format flipped to classical (running through 1995) Colorado Public Radio now holds the KVOD call letters.
