there is an interesting site which deals in naming/identifying 1950's classic TV Themes..Is also helpful somewhat in establishing when some shows were on what network..

>Florian ZaBach had a syndicated series at this time.
He was a violinist who apparently worked a lot like
Liberace. I remember his making a number of appearances
with Mike Douglas in the '60s and '70s.

DuMont was in the process of cutting its schedule to
practically nothing. Captain Video ended April 1, and
Bishop Sheen moved to ABC around that time; the game show
Down You Go moved to CBS in June; and Life Begins at 80
to ABC in August. The last surviving entertainment show
on DuMont, What's The Story?, ended September 23, 1955.
Except for Monday-night boxing, which lasted until August
1956, DuMont was dead, to be reorganized as Metromedia
and then, in 1986, Fox.
