That's correct - By the 60's, American radio was reduced to news & talk shows. In 1982, CBS made one last stab at reviving their interests with a program called Radio Mystery Theatre, which ran 1,399 original scripted shows from 1972 though the end of 1982.

I recently retired, so I'm spending more time sorting out my collection. I consider American television to be frightfully boring, with the exception of public broadcasting, which gets a portion of its content from the BBC. So I'll stick with radio.

For anyone interested, here's a few links that will keep your ears busy for many hours:
