Radio Pumpkin FM - Crime Inc

Crime Incorporated is a specialist drama channel in the Pumpkin FM network. Its subject is crime fiction heard through archived radio programmes, including detective stories and police-led investigations. The broadcaster presents the service as continuous old-time radio listening, supported by a programme schedule.

Sherlock Holmes, Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe and Johnny Dollar are among the names represented in its programme guide. These are fictional investigators and archive series, giving the channel a recognisable dramatic identity rather than the format of a current true-crime news service.

Dragnet, The Line Up and Calling All Cars bring police-centred programmes into the selection. The Black Museum, The Whistler and Crime Classics extend the range of mystery storytelling, while McLevy and Baldi add further named series to the timetable. The mix crosses different approaches to investigation, from recurring detectives to programmes built around separate cases.

Some titles receive dedicated hour-long positions, including the Sherlock Holmes Hour and The Whistler Hour, while Crime Lucky Bag provides a mixed archive slot. Other programmes rotate across the week. That arrangement makes Crime Incorporated a continuing scheduled service rather than a collection requiring a separate choice of every episode. Its focus remains on performed crime and mystery: actors, dialogue and recorded dramatic productions carry the stories. Pumpkin FM's adventure and supernatural channels explore neighbouring subjects, but Crime Incorporated keeps investigation, detection and police work at the centre of its archive selection.
