Studio X was a syndicated transcription anthology: fifteen-minute self-contained dramas pressed to disc and sold to individual stations rather than carried on a network. The surviving episodes, numbered rather than dated, range from crime and character pieces to light melodrama. The set was digitised from the original transcription discs and is held in the public domain at the Internet Archive.

The shape of the run
What survives, year by year
5 dated broadcasts across 87 years on the air, with 86 years where nothing is known to survive. Brightness is transfer quality; empty cells are months lost to time.
