DuMont Television Network
Hey Joe!

Just saw this. Thank you very much for this information. I plan to attempt to obtain a copy of the encyclopedia. Thanks for this interesting and useful reference. Firsfron of Ronchester 07:37, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Joe, is there a way you can e-mail me a scanned copy of appropriate pages of the Hollywood Reporter's 1952 Motion Picture/TV Production Encyclopedia, or give me some details (WP:CITET information like publication date, author, ISBN, etc)? My library is unable to obtain a copy, and I'd like to add your information, cited, to the list of DuMont affiliates. I'm particularly interested in obtaining dates for DuMont affiliations, but the Yankee, Paramount, Mutual, and other obscure networks affiliation information you included would also be useful. If money is an issue, I could send some to cover expenses. Firsfron of Ronchester  04:41, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Let me take a look at the book. I don't see an ISBN (or SBN, considering the date). Publisher was W.R. Wilkerson; editors were G.H. Kennedy and Vance King. "Published by the Hollywood Reporter, Hollywood, California." Copyright 1952 by The Production Encyclopedia. Scanning shouldn't be a problem; I'll post here when I'm done. -- Gridlock Joe 11:46, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I've finished the scans. You can download them here: . -- Gridlock Joe 12:17, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow! Thank you, Joe. What a great find! I've got Bergmann's book, which has a map of the network in 1955, but it doesn't show station call signs, just the cities connected. It's clear they expanded a lot from 1952 to 55. Thank you so much for scanning these pages! And for the full citation info. I'm not even sure what to make of the Don Lee, Mutual, and Yankee television "affiliates". Strangely, KPIX is listed as a Paramount affil, while KTLA isn't listed as a Paramount station. Anyway, thanks so much for your assistance. If there's anything I can ever do for you, please let me know. Firsfron of Ronchester  22:54, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
