Melody Ranch is a Western variety radio show centered around the talent of singing cowboy Gene Autry. Each episode of the program features a Western adventure filled with music, comedy, and action. The show is set in Gene Autry's home at Melody Ranch, in the San Fernando Mountains. The music is heavily focused on a western style, with accordion accents and Autry's own "Cowboy Classic." Each episode also includes a 10 to 15-minute story, fully dramatized and detailing a recent adventure that occurred at the ranch.

The show aired between 1940 and 1956, with a two-year interruption during which Gene Autry enlisted in the United States Army to serve in World War II. Airing on the CBS radio network, the show's entire run was sponsored by Doublemint gum. The theme song for the program was "Back in the Saddle Again." Notably, two episodes of the program deviated from the typical format. One featured the renaming of Berwyn, Oklahoma, to Gene Autry, Oklahoma, airing as part of the ceremony. The other was the July 26, 1942 episode when Autry took his oath of office to join the United States Army Air Forces.

Performers: Gene Autry, Wendell Niles, Tom Hanlon, Lou Crosby, Charles Lyon, Pat Buttram
