This Is Your FBI, as the title suggests, was a crime drama that featured true cases from FBI, and told from an agent’s viewpoint. The show’s producer and director, Jerry Devine, has previously worked on the radio program of the same genre, Mr. District Attorney. Devine once worked for the FBI, so having him for the show would allow each story to be told the best way possible. Then-FBI chief Edgar Hoover gave him access to the FBI files for the stories used in the show.

The show’s main character was Agent Jim Taylor, who handled crime cases on the West Coast. The basic format of the show was that, 30 minutes were allowed for the presentation of the criminal’s actions, which will be followed up with Taylor’s investigation of the crime. This long-running series starred Frank Lovejoy (and later Dean Carlton and William Woodson) as the narrator, Betty White, and Stacy Harris as Agent Jim Taylor.

The show was heard on ABC for over a decade, from 1945 to 1953, airing a total of 409 episodes. The main sponsor throughout the show’s run was the Equitable Life Assurance Society of USA, which is now called the AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company.

I like this show

Debra

Always enjoyed the show, though for some reason a lot of the ones I've heard have lower than average volume.

Michael

I have all the shows with the commercials and listen to them

Margaret

This is Your FBI was re-syndicated in 1974-75 by Jay M. Kholos (Rod Serling's Zero Hour). I got to hear a bunch of TIYF episodes that way and they were quite exceptional.

Eric

great crime series.

Christina

I've always enjoyed that series, although the first few episodes of it that I heard were plagued by unusually low volume levels, to the point where I opened some of them in Audacity and increased the volume so I could hear the dialogue.

This series was broadcast on ABC-Radio from 1945 to 1953, always sponsored by Equitable Life Insurance. It featured dramatized stories of true FBI cases. All aspects of the program was approved, and checked by J. Edgar Hoover, who was the head of the FBI. Hoover also appeared on the program many times.
