K-CAPE Radio

The call letters K-CAPE identify Cape Suzette's city radio station, purveyor of news, sports, music, and other audio programs to thousands of listeners. Although communications such as wireless telegraph are still commonly used for ship-to-ship messages and coded transmissions, radio broadcasts can provide instantaneous information to the public.

K-CAPE Radio airs seven days a week from the main studio in Cape Suzette, which also receives radio feeds from remote units set up at the sites of important events and public addresses. Powerful antennas transmit the studio's signals across the airwaves, to a range covering Usland and extending as far as Thembria (where listeners may be shot for tuning in to capitalistic prattle).

K-CAPE's station guide lists a program lineup that runs the gamut from sportscasts to talk radio. Baseball fans tune in to every major-league game played by the local favorites, the Cubs and the Sox, catching up on standings and commentary in the next day's newspapers. Music lovers can hear all the best tunes — from songs taken from Chester Grizzley's and Rosebeary Clooney's latest albums, to tropical melodies played by Harry Howley and his Hawaiian Boys — courtesy of programs such as "Broadcast" Sally's live morning show. Her silky voice familiar to many listeners, Broadcast Sally plays records, gives news and weather reports, and interviews callers and guests from her booth in K-CAPE's studio.

Periodic updates run up-to-the-minute info on weather conditions, traffic, and current local, city, and world news. Regular radio listings are subject to change without notice and may be interrupted at any time for urgent bulletins and special reports.

Using a medium that relies on the imaginations of its listeners, programs for young people find a favorable niche in Cape Suzette's radio audience.

"Danger Woman" is K-CAPE Radio's top-rated hit among children under the age of twelve, predominantly girls. The drama serial follows the crimefighting adventures of a caped superheroine who battles do-badders such as the evil Mantis Lady. The show has propelled Danger Woman to stardom in the eyes of idolizing youngsters, and has made a mint for Frosty Pep Ice Cream, "Danger Woman's favorite food."

"Space Riders" is an adventure series geared to pre-teen boys, in which space explorers encounter bizarre aliens in the depths of the solar system. Its popularity surprises some; after all, who cares about space fantasy?

DANGER WOMAN "Faster than a speeding airship... More powerful than a turbine... Able to leap city blocks in a single bound... It's Danger Woman!"

SPACE RIDERS "From the frigid rings of Saturn to the eerie moons of Mars, with death rays blazing and monsters grazing, it's time for another amazing adventure with... Space Riders!"
