That Sunday radio list of shows was a really big deal at our house
On different evenings (I think) we listened to
Fiber McGee and Molly, George Burns and Gracie Allen, the Great Gildersleve
Other times there was Bobby Benson and the BBarB Boys, Sergeant King of the Northwest Mounties, The Shadow (Knows)
And Saturday afternoon opera broadcast directly from the Metropolitan with discussion of the plot and performance
And was it Satuday evening that there were the broadcasts of musical comedy shiws--Oklahoma, Carousel, Annie Get Your Gun

(62,423 posts)We listen to OTR on our C Crane internet radio every night. The station we listen to plays only Fibber McGee an the Great Gildersleeve.
But they do have occasional promos for other shows. Fibber was on Tuesday for most of its very long run for what I can gather.
Wikipedia has TV block schedules from the middle 40s but doesn't have block radio schedules. Maybe you can dig around and find something.
Here is a block TV schedule from 1949/1950:
