Undated Broadcasts Project — The 3,700-Broadcast Milestone Reached

With the completion of This update, the Master Undated Broadcast Resolution Pipeline has officially crossed the 3,700-Broadcast Resolution Milestone, bringing the cumulative project total to 3,731 verified broadcasts across 78 completed updates.

Continuing our sequential restoration of the 1935 Western musical serial Life on Red Horse Ranch (8cb54eff-cb13-4856-8188-f9654bda9e6c), written by Paul Henning and Gomer Cool and produced by Arthur B. Church at KMBC, this update resolves an additional 50 sequential daily broadcasts (Episodes 51 through 100).

Airing daily Monday through Friday across syndicated stations between July 15 and September 20, 1935, this summer sequence follows the Red Horse Ranch crew through rodeo competitions and desert manhunts, underscored by cowboy ballads from The Texas Rangers:

  • The Danville Rodeo & Bronc Riding (Episodes 51–65): Alabam, Tenderfoot, and the boys ride into Danville to compete in bronc riding, trick roping, and horse races, raising vital funds to pay off the predatory ranch mortgage.
  • Steve Bradford's Ambush & Outlaw Trails (Episodes 66–85): Rival rancher Steve Bradford attempts to sabotage the prize money and stampede the cattle, but Rose Carter and Alabam outsmart the rustlers with quick thinking and sharp shooting.
  • The Canyon Loot & Bunkhouse Songs (Episodes 86–100): Following young Dewey Dawson's map, the hands search hidden canyon caves for stolen gold, celebrating each victory around the campfire with fiddler Gomer Cool and singer Tex Owens.

Reaching 3,731 broadcasts resolved across the master project ledger, each entry features verified daily airdates, standardized Western taxonomy, and pure narrative synopses.
