By April, the series proved successful enough to expand to a half-hour. The first series of shows (each 15 minutes long) ran on a local NBC station, WENR, at midnight Wednesdays, starting in January 1934. At some point, the serial concept was dropped in favor of an anthology format emphasizing crime thrillers and the supernatural. In the fall of 1933, NBC writer Wyllis Cooper conceived the idea of "a midnight mystery serial to catch the attention of the listeners at the witching hour." The idea was to offer listeners a dramatic program late at night, at a time when the competition was mostly airing music. Lights Out was one of the earliest radio horror programs, predating Suspense and Inner Sanctum. If you call the utility and they determine everything is OK up to the panel, there will generally not be any charge (they are concerned because these are potential life-safety issues and will normally send someone to check without any charge).Lights Out is an American old-time radio program devoted mostly to horror and the supernatural.Ĭreated by Wyllis Cooper and then eventually taken over by Arch Oboler, versions of Lights Out aired on different networks, at various times, from Januto the summer of 1947 and the series eventually made the transition to television. But the problem sounds "big" enough that it could really be a utility issue.
If they determine it is on your side then you will need to call an electrician to diagnose a panel problem.įrom what you've described (not 100% clear), it may really be a panel problem. If the problem is on their side they will normally fix at no charge. They should come out quickly to investigate. I suggest calling the utility and telling them you have "intermittent outage and possibly a lost neutral". If you have a neutral problem it may actually be at meter or outside and is then a utility problem. If you measure the voltage (when things are working.) and see an imbalance - e.g., 140V on one circuit and 90V on another - then it is definitely "call utility" time.ĭo you have a multimeter that you can test voltage? If so test outlets on both sides and see if you get consistent results. If you have really had everything go out ("outage"), then this is definitely "call utility" time. I'm a little confused by "lights out in part" vs.
