Tales of the Diamond K was a syndicated radio show aimed at a juvenile audience that featured captivating stories from the Old West. The show was hosted and narrated by Ken Maynard and often involved tales of cowboys and cattle trails, rodeos and parades, hidden gold and buried treasure. The stories were set in Ken Maynard's Diamond K Ranch, and the series aimed to intrigue and entertain young listeners with self-contained, adventurous episodes.
The show aired in the mid-1950s on a daily basis for 15-minute episodes, with some sources indicating that as many as a thousand shows were produced. However, only 39 episodes are known to be in existence today. Ken Maynard was a renowned movie cowboy and one of the first singing cowboys, who appeared in over 90 films between the 1920s and mid-1940s. The show's radio format featured premiums such as an offer for a personalized phonograph recording of Maynard's stories and a Western "K-Shirt" with the Diamond K Brand on it.
