Radio anthology series provided a format for science fiction, horror, suspense, and mystery genres (all produced in the US, unless noted):
Airing on the Wednesday prior to each week's distribution of the magazine, the program soon moved to Sundays in order to avoid spoilers with dramatizations of stories simultaneously appearing in the magazine. As radio's first major dramatic anthology, it adapted stories and serials from Collier's Weekly in a calculated move to increase subscriptions and compete with The Saturday Evening Post. One of the earliest such programs was The Collier Hour, broadcast on the NBC Blue Network from 1927 to 1932. On some series, such as Inner Sanctum Mysteries, the only constant was the host, who introduced and concluded each dramatic presentation. Many popular old-time radio programs were anthology series. Anthologiai were collections of small Greek poems and epigrams, because in Greek culture the flower symbolized the finer sentiments that only poetry can express. The word comes from Ancient Greek ἀνθολογία ( anthología, “flower-gathering”), from ἀνθολογέω ( anthologéō, "I gather flowers"), from ἄνθος ( ánthos, "flower") + λέγω ( légō, "I gather, pick up, collect"), coined by Meleager of Gadara circa 60 BCE, originally as Στέφανος (στέφανος ( stéphanos, "garland")) to describe a collection of poetry, later retitled anthology – see Greek Anthology.
