Alka-Seltzer Time, otherwise called The Alka-Seltzer Show, was a 15-minute radio show that started in 1941. It was heard weekdays on Mutual (noontimes) and CBS (afternoons). Fort Pearson served as the show's announcer.
The show was described as an "informal song sessions" with singers Curt Massey and Martha Tilton, hence, it was initially known as Curt Massey Time, or sometimes, Curt Massey Time with Martha Tilton. The title was changed only to emphasize that the show's main sponsor was Alka-seltzer. Massey and Tilton performed together with Country Washburne's Orchestra and pianist Charles LeVere.
Although the show ended on November 6, 1953, the singer-hosts continued to appear on similar kind of shows like Star for Defense and Guest Star, for instance. Click here to read more about Alka-Seltzer-Time
