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
