DuMont station W2XWV had begun testing and occasional broadcast activity on channel 4 (then at 78-84 mHz, slightly above post-1946 Channel 5) but had no programming scheduled for this day.
This is typical of early wartime programming schedules, which were much like immediate pre-war programming. TV would be much more limited as the war went on, resuming regular daily service on the handful of licensed stations in immediate postwar operation only with the re-organization of the VHF TV band into its current form in the early spring of 1946.
