Night Beat
_____________________________________
NIGHTBEAT was a 1950 NBC adventure series in which Frank Lovejoy
played the part of Randy Stone, top reporter for "The Chicago Star"
newspaper. Randy's Nightbeat assignment sent him to the streets of
Chicago looking for human interest stories and any chance of exposing
criminals. Randy's ability to "get involved" created a half-hour of
intriguing drama always closing with Stone's crisp call, "Copy boy!".
NIGHTBEAT was produced and directed by Warren Lewis. Supporting
roles were portrayed by Lurene Tuttle, Joan Banks, Herb Butterfield
and Peter Leeds. The series was unsponsored, except for brief times
by Wheaties and Pabst.
NIGHTBEAT was "a superior series that focused as much on people as
predicament". The stories were varied, covering crimes and human
interest, but were always dramatic. Quality radio, not to be missed.
