NOT the same story as Bradbury's 'Zero Hour'.

"The Mysterious Traveler eventually found itself up against an even more daunting body than the National Association of Broadcasters and their programming guidelines. Both Robert Arthur, Jr. and David Kogan were activist members of the Radio Writers' Guild, a popular writer's union that was deemed subversive by the infamous House Un-American Activities Committees (HUAC) between 1945 and 1954. This was by no means unusual for the era. The HUAC systematically attacked most significant collective bargaining organizations of the era for their union and organizing activities, which the predominantly right-wing Republicans in control of Congress at the time, deemed a threat to Big Business in any form. The larger, older unions managed to weather the scrutiny of the HUAC. It was predominately the smaller artists' and trade unions that the HUAC seemed most successful at bullying throughout the era--with Hollywood moguls' full support.

Arthur and Kogan's very visible lobbying, organizing and picketing efforts on behalf of the Radio Writers' Guild during the late 1940s and early 1950s ultimately brought the HUAC down on Radio station WOR and the Mutual Broadcasting System. Both WOR and MBS predictably caved under the innuendoes and allegations of the HUAC and terminated The Mysterious Traveler at the arc of its national success. While simply a road-bump to MBS, the blacklisting of one of Radio's greatest writing teams effectively ended their Radio writing careers with the cancellation of The Mysterious Traveler." --- from the Digital Deli Too
