By this time, television had begun to take over all the sponsorship from radio programming and it was getting more difficult to fund quality programs. Nightbeat, by all measures was a quality program. Good stories, sound effects, music, excellent acting by Frank Lovejoy and an outstanding supporting cast, many of who were known as honored members of "radio row" having acted in many shows over the years.. many, including Lovejoy would go on to television and motion pictures. This track brings you a "Christmas Story" ... the holidays can be an emotionally tough time for a lot of people and reporter, Randy Stone (Frank Lovejoy) sets out to helps someone in need.
