America Overnight

***America Overnight*** (FBC initiative #72-A) is a radio show created by the Federal Bureau of Control in order to covertly gather information about and obfuscate potential Altered World Event cases. The show alleges to be a conspiracy theory-type broadcast featuring callers who have experienced paranatural events. In addition to aiding the Bureau in tracking down potential AWEs, *America Overnight* also serves as a means of gauging the human collective subconscious and understanding how ordinary people perceive the paranatural. *America Overnight* is broadcast from Colorado in a 2:00 AM timeslot, and claims (sometimes ambiguously) to have been airing for "over 29 years"; this claim was reiterated in an episode that aired not long after the Sterling AWE in 2016, implying the show launched no later than 1987.

Both the show's host, who is unidentified, and its producer, Karen Harris, were FBC agents. The show's host was placed on leave by his superiors after he revealed in debriefing following the events of episode 382 that he had been in a romantic relationship with Harris prior to her death, which violated FBC internal regulations.

The success of *America Overnight* in aiding the FBC's mission persuaded the FBC to purchase the rights to and reboot the television show *Night Springs*.

America Overnight episode 235 is mentioned but does not appear as a collectible. It is implied that the episode was broadcasted in 1998, and that its caller alerted the Bureau to rumors about the Merry-Go-Round Horse Object of Power, which allowed the Bureau to contain the object that year.

## Trivia

It is unknown how often *America Overnight* broadcasts. There are at least 382 total episodes, and the host mentions that the show has been broadcasting for "more than" or "over" 29 years in five of the six episodes that are collectible in *Control*. Assuming the show's run is in fact a minimum of 29 years, then on average one episode is broadcast every 27.7 days, indicating a monthly schedule. However, the 29 years claim is made as early as episode 352 and as late as episode 382, which means at least 30 episodes aired in the space of a single year, implying a much more frequent schedule, possibly weekly. The problem with the latter possibility is that there are not enough episodes to fill 29 years. Some speculative explanations for this inconsistency are: the host is lying about the show's run for some reason, the show is seasonal or irregularly scheduled, or developer Remedy Entertainment numbered the collectible episodes incorrectly.
