OTR - Old Timer Radio is an audio-only live stream of shows from the early days of radio, with "radio plays, mystery serials, soap operas, quiz shows, talent shows, daytime and evening variety hours, situation comedies, children's shows, superhero stories, action and adventure and even thriller, science fiction and horror radio dramas."
Shows that were streamed during our review included Casey, Crime Photographer, which aired on CBS Radio in the 1940s and 50s and featured a fictional newspaper crime photographer who solved crimes and recounted his stories at a tavern and jazz club; and Dimension X, an adult science fiction series on NBC radio that broadcast 50 episodes in the 1950s and featured stories from writers like Isaac Asimov, Robert Bloch, and Ray Bradbury.
The channel has no programming schedule and has no information on the current show except the title, and even that isn't always available.
Don't confuse this channel with Old Time Radio USA, which has been around for nearly 30 years and is now part of the WOTR Radio Network.

CHANNEL STORE DESCRIPTION: Sit in your old rocking chair (or present-day recliner) and listen to Old Timer Radio! Old Timer Radio (also known as OTR) transports you through the decades to the Golden Age of Radio (also known as the old-time radio or the OTR era). Long before the chaos of present day and the clutter of hundreds of streaming services and satellite radio, things moved a little slower. Times were simpler. And entertainment encouraged theater of the mind! With the birth of commercial radio broadcasting in the early 1920s, before the advent of television sets, over the air AM/FM radio was the very first broadcast medium. Harken back to the day when families would gather to listen to their one home radio every night. All the classics are here, on Old Timer Radio, including old time radio plays, mystery serials, soap operas, quiz shows, talent shows, daytime and evening variety hours, situation comedies, children's shows, superhero stories, action and adventure and even thriller, science fiction and horror radio dramas... and so much more. Broadcasting all OTR and spoken word, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year!
