Frequently Asked Questions
Where did your research come
from?
Just about any source you might imagine, except Wikipedia.
The basis for this project lies in
Curt Alliame's Game Show site, which attempted to list
the history of shows and timeslots. Our inspiration
was not only to expand on that idea, but to include shows
and even networks that wasn't represented before, especially
the very strange history of the DuMont Network and their
daytime programs.
Well then, what were your
sources?
TV Guide, New York and other various editions
The New York Times
The Washington Post
The Boston Globe
The Hartford Courant
Broadcasting Magazine
Variety
The Encyclopedia of Daytime Television by Wesley Hyatt
The Forgotten Network: DuMont and the Birth of American
Television by David Weinstein
I see something that I think
is wrong, can I contribute?
Yes. Feel free to send feedback by clicking on the
feedback link and sending a brief summary of what you know
and how you went about finding it. We will in turn
check it against other sources and then add it into the
archive appropriately.
