Map of affiliates for the DuMont Television Network, 1949

The DuMont Television Network was an American broadcast television network owned and operated by Allen B. DuMont Laboratories, which originated its founding in 1940, its launch in 1946, and its demise in 1956. By 1953, DuMont was affiliated with 126 stations, [1] which grew to around 200 stations in 1954, the network's peak. [2] The network owned three stations: WABD in New York City, WTTG in Washington, D.C., and WDTV in Pittsburgh; the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) also regarded two stations owned by minority owner Paramount PicturesKTLA in Los Angeles and WBKB in Chicago—as network-owned, despite KTLA leaving the network entirely in 1948 and WBKB never having carried a DuMont program. [3]

Many stations in the early years of television affiliated with more than one network. There were not enough local stations in most cities for each of the four major networks to have an affiliate, leading to the four networks (as well as a number of smaller networks) to fight for air time. Local TV stations were free to "cherry-pick" which programs they would broadcast. Many of DuMont's "affiliates" carried very little DuMont programming, choosing to air one or two more popular programs (such as Life Is Worth Living , which was aired by 169 stations during the 1953–1954 season) [4] and/or sports programming on the weekends. Few stations carried the full DuMont program line-up.

DuMont's advertising revenues depended on being able to be viewed nationwide. As a result, the company made affiliation agreements which have been described as "a crazy patchwork of deals". In many cities, DuMont was affiliated with more than one TV station in order to get more of its programming cleared for broadcast. No definitive list of affiliated stations from 1946 to 1956 exists, and many sources contradict one another.

DuMont's owned-and-operated stations are highlighted in yellow. The Paramount owned-and-operated stations, which did not carry DuMont programs but were ruled DuMont O&Os by the FCC, are shown in pink.
