Undated Broadcasts Project — Pinto Pete in Arizona Launches

Following the full restoration of nine complete series, the master undated broadcast resolution pipeline introduces our tenth major classic series: Pinto Pete in Arizona (70168463-c2f4-4942-a8c3-c84b02f528f8). This update resolves the first 50 sequential daily broadcasts (Episodes 1 through 50).

Syndicated across regional stations beginning in January 1936, the 15-minute daily musical program features Pinto Pete and His Ranch Boys, providing listeners with warm, authentic campfire entertainment:

  • Campfire Harmonies & Trail Songs (Episodes 1–25): Pinto Pete's resonant, deep-voiced baritone leads the Ranch Boys through beloved Western melodies including "Oh Mona", "My Blue Ridge Mountain Queen", "Utah Trail", and "Ragtime Joe".
  • Frontier Humor & Western Folk Tradition (Episodes 26–50): Blending humorous banter, acoustic guitar, and fiddle melodies, the ensemble delivers cheerful performances of "Waitin' for the Robert E. Lee", "Rootin' Tootin' Shootin' Sons of Guns", and "Springtime in Paris".

Reaching 3,974 broadcasts resolved across the master project ledger, each entry features verified daily airdates, standardized Western taxonomy, and pure narrative synopses.
