The MTIA Digitized Shows subseries contains the digital surrogates of the shows in the MTIA Show Recordings and Scripts subseries. These are the most complete versions of the shows available. The subseries contains 798 shows comprising 2,840 electronic files. The materials are arranged chronologically by date of broadcast. Digital surrogates are available at the MTiA Archive.

The MTIA Duplicate Recordings subseries contains 1,575 duplicate analog tapes of the radio show audio components (duplicate scripts are found boxed with the scripts that were digitized). Tapes in this subseries range in date from 1967 to 1989. This subseries represents tape copies of MTIA radio shows that have already been digitized for preservation and access. Leo Sarkisian's reuse of audio materials over the years and singular use of the quarter-inch open reel tape format resulted in a proliferation of copies of the materials related to the production of the MTIA radio shows. The materials are arranged chronologically by year.
