An urban myth.Īs it turns out, the audience for the radio play was small. While there may have been a few who missed the numerous announcements, which were made at every break, that this was a play, the idea that the entire country panicked has been at best an exaggeration. Or at least that’s what we have all been led to believe. Panic ensued as listeners believed the program was actually broadcasting real news bulletins. Wells’ book for his program “Mercury Theater on the Air,” Orson Welles scared the nation into believing that Earth was being taken over by Martians. 30, 1938 – “War of the Worlds” was broadcast on CBS Radio, including KNX (1070 AM) here in Los Angeles.
