Captain Midnight

Captain Midnight - Free OTR Shows - Listen Now!: "Captain Midnight was a U.S. radio serial show from 1938 to 1949. Created by radio scripters Wilfred G. Moore and Robert M. Burtt, the program was developed at WGN in Chicago. Sponsored by the Skelly Oil Company, it began as a syndicated show in the fall of 1938, airing on a few midwest stations through the spring of 1940. In the fall of 1940, Ovaltine took over sponsorship, and the series was then heard nationally on the Mutual Radio Network where it remained until December, 1949."

Another intro I loved as a kid. The way the announcer says "Captain" is great. Fifty-six episodes at the link.
