On October 14th, 1957, the broadcast ended. Wendell Crane did not. He appears at random, on screens that were never tuned to him. Tonight, yours.

WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS
8:51 PM
The signal cut to static for one and a half seconds. When it returned, the studio was empty. Wendell Crane was still facing the camera. He was smiling.
NEVER FOUND
The crew of Studio B, and the audience in its seats, were never seen again — not in the building, not at home, not since. No bodies. No notice. The time cards were never punched out.
NO RECORD
No birth certificate. No school. A Social Security number registered to no one. A single photograph predates his broadcasts by twenty-two years. Same suit. Same age. Same smile.
FARADAY
The sponsor never existed. Its address is a lot that has been vacant since 1854. Yet the packages still arrive, brand new, in 1957 boxes. The products inside them work.
MODEL 142
The last thing he demonstrated on the broadcast, the night the studio emptied, was a television — the Faraday Model 142.
ONE VIEWER
He appears on screens that are off. Only one person ever sees it. Call someone into the room and he is gone. No recording has ever survived.
