Background

The DuMont Television Network was founded by Allen B. DuMont Laboratories in 1940 and launched in 1946 as a competitor to NBC, CBS, and ABC. Due to prohibitive broadcasting costs and the FCC freezing new television stations in 1948, DuMont was in poor financial shape, and after years of decline, shut down in 1956. Many of the original masters of DuMont's shows were later disposed of in the 1970s.

Audio: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: Programs featured on this network have yet to turn up.

2nd ID (19??-mid 1950s)
