Good to be back!
I've wondered why Suspense went back to New York for a couple of weeks in 1947. Based on some news items in Billboard I suspect that they were dealing with the cancellation of the Roma Wines contract and figuring out what to do. Roma had cancelled, but did a short extension after the show won a Peabody award. They were unhappy with the show results-- translation: we're paying too much money for what we're getting!
This is from the Billboard dated 1947-05-03
The phrase "percentage house" is a colorful term used for "advertising agency" since agencies were paid by deducting a commission from the amount paid for the commercial air time.
A later Billboard (47-06-21 edition) writes about Spier going to New York for meetings and producing some shows there.

Thanks much! The Ty Power show was one of my very first SUSPENSEs, back in the Murray Hill vinyl days.

Every time I write the following, new versions appear:
"I don't have any more upgrades... I've found all of the Suspense that can be found."
Let's see if it works again this time.
