The
show began on NBC as The G-Men and was sponsored by Chevrolet. The concept of a
national program that brought authentic police case histories to millions of
radio listeners, was the concept of a veteran in the business, Phillips H.
Lord. His idea of a cross between the newspapers and the movies was an
immediate hit with his peers. With J.
Edgar Hooverâs approval, Lord wrote his first episode right in the Justice
Department Building in Washington. Changing to "Gangbusters" the show
came on strong right from the start and was a radio sensation. The pace was
fast, the action was real and sometimes violent, the crimes and criminals were
acted doing what was written about in the papers.
