I remember the show as being a Saturday morning
broadcast (correct?).
When I took an Alaska cruise I spotted a Sgt. Preston
store in Skagway. Full of memorabilia. I bought a
cassette album of shows.

It may have depended on where you were. When I was a kid
"Challenge of the Yukon" was a dinnertime show. My memory is
that it was MWF with "The Green Hornet" on alternate days,
or, perhaps it was the LR which was three a week with one of
the above alternating. WXYZ also carried "Sky King" a
Chicago origination which may have alternated with one of
the above although I think it alternated with "Jack
Armstrong". Someday I will see if the L.A. public library
has old Detroit papers in its holdings and look up the radio
scheduals. I am pretty sure all of these shows were in the
5PM to 6PM slot.
The kids serials seem to have been mostly on ABC. Mutual
had "Superman" and maybe a couple of others, I don't
remember any on CBS or NBC. Maybe they were just not carried
in Detroit. I remember hearing "Superman" on some distant
station, probably WIBC in Indianapolis, for some reason I
don't remember hearing it on CKLW, the Detroit (actually
Windsor, Ontario) Mutual Affil. There may also have been a
time conflict with some other show.
This is all now about sixty years ago. How naive we all
were.
