Editing Rod Serling (section)

===Other radio===

====''The Zero Hour''====
Serling returned to radio late in his career with ''[[The Zero Hour (U.S. radio series)|The Zero Hour]]'' (also known as ''Hollywood Radio Theater'') in 1973. The drama anthology series featured tales of mystery, adventure, and suspense, airing in stereo for two seasons. Serling hosted the program but did not write any of the scripts. The series ended on July 26, 1974.

====''Fantasy Park''====
Serling's final radio performance was even more unusual: ''Fantasy Park'' was a 48-hour-long rock concert aired by nearly 200 stations in 1974 and 1975. The program, written and produced by McLendon National Productions Director Steve Blackson, featured performances by dozens of rock stars of the day, and even reunited [[the Beatles]]. It was also completely ''imaginary''—as KNUS Program Director [[Beau Weaver]] put it, a "theatre-of-the-mind for the '70s". The concert used record albums, many recorded live in concert, plus crowd noise, interviews, schedule updates by host Fred Kennedy, and other sound effects. (Stations that aired the special were reportedly inundated by callers demanding to know how to get to the nonexistent concert.) KNUS general manager Bart McLendon recruited Serling to record the host segments, bumpers, custom promos, and television spots.

Serling wrote the disclaimers, which aired each hour: "Hello, this is Rod Serling and welcome back to ''Fantasy Park''—the crowds here today are unreal." "This is ''Fantasy Park''—the greatest live concert—''never'' held."
