Mercury Theatre on the Air was not that popular of a show (its lack of commercial sponsors was why the show could go on so long without any breaks). Orson Welles knew that the most popular show in the same time slot, NBC’s Chase and Sanborn Hour, finished up its first comedy skit after about 15 minutes. Many “channel surfers” would have been tuning into CBS just as reports from Grover’s Mill told of aliens coming out of the cylinder. Do you think Welles timed the show this way on purpose or was this just coincidence? Defend your answer.
