That's true. I was listening to them and watching them as a teen. I was a fan of both. I still am. And I liked the radio version a little more than the TV version. Still do.
"Have Gun, Will Travel", did the opposite. It began on TV and then was broadcast on radio, with John McIntire as Paladin. I think the TV version of these shows are better, although both are good.
