"A Night on the Town" is a one-hour weekly radio program celebrating the American Musical, produced and hosted by George Harter. This show provides insights into the history of the American Musical with songs, stories about the composers and interesting tidbits on the creation of our favorite shows.

Harter created "A Night on the Town" in 1980 while working as an announcer at Kansas City's classical station featuring vintage Broadway, and quickly became Kansas City's top-rated local weekend program. In 1998, the show was picked up for national distribution by the WFMT Fine Arts Network.
