 Challenge
of the Yukon was a radio series that began on Detroit's
station WXYZ (as had The Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet),
and an example of a Northern genre story. The series was
first heard on February 3, 1938. The title changed from
Challenge of the Yukon to Sergeant Preston of the Yukon in
November 1951, and remained under that name through the end
of the series and into television.The program was an
adventure series about Sergeant William Preston of the
Northwest Mounted Police and his lead sled dog, Yukon King,
as they fought evildoers in the Northern wilderness during
the Gold Rush of the 1890s. Preston, according to radio
historian Jim Harmon, first joined the Mounties to capture
his father's killer, and when he was successful he was
promoted to Sergeant. Preston worked under the command of
Inspector Conrad, and in the early years was often assisted
by a French-Canadian guide named Pierre.Preston's staunchest
ally, who was arguably the true star of the show and indeed
often did more work than he did, was the brave Alaskan
husky, Yukon King. Typical plots involved the pair helping
injured trappers, tracking down smugglers, or saving cabin
dwellers from wolverines. Sgt. Preston's faithful steed was
Rex, used primarily in the summer months, but generally
Yukon King and his dog team were the key mode of
transportation (as signalled by Preston's cry of "On, King!
On, you huskies!."
Sgt. Preston- The part
of Sgt. Preston was played by different actors over the
course of the long run. Jay Michael, who had often played
villain Butch Cavendish on The Lone Ranger, originated the
role, and played the brave Mountie from 1938 through the mid
1940s. Former movie actor Paul Sutton took over the role,
followed briefly by Brace Beemer when The Lone Ranger ended
in 1954. Sutton took over again, however, by the time of the
final broadcast. Sgt. Preston- The part of Sgt. Preston was
