Big Town is a
radio show that aired from 1937 to 1952. Edward G. Robinson had the lead role
of Steve Wilson from 1937 to 1942. Claire Trevor was Wilson's society editor
sidekick Lorelei Kilbourne, with Ona Munson taking over that role in 1940.
Edward J. Pawley portrayed Wilson from 1942 until 1952 when Walter Greaza was
heard as Wilson in the final episodes in the radio series. When Big Town
moved to television, the program was telecast live, but in 1952 the production
switched to film after the move from New York City to Hollywood. The television
series ran on CBS from 1950 through 1954, continuing on NBC from 1955 through
1956. Repeat episodes aired on the DuMont Network (under the title City
Assignment) while Big Town was still showing first-run episodes on
CBS. Reruns were also shown under the titles Heart of the City, Headline
and Byline Steve Wilson.
