Grand Central Station is an American radio anthology drama series that ran from 1937 to 1954, opening each week with a signature narration describing trains converging on New York's Grand Central Terminal before crossing into a self-contained dramatic story, typically a romance or human interest tale, only loosely connected to the station itself beyond that framing device. Broadcast first on the Blue Network and then in various later network homes, it was a long running and popular example of the anthology drama format that was common on American radio before television became the dominant home entertainment medium.
