Looks like DuMont had a very musical line-up...3:30 TV Disc Jockey, 5:30 Say It With Music, 9 PM Cavalcade Of Bands....with a little imagination they could have given MTV a 30-year head-start! :)
 
Actually, Cavalcade of Bands was a DuMont show; asbest I can tell the other two were local. But varietyshows were an integral part of DuMont's schedule, andtwo of them went on to the bigger networks: Ted Mack'sAmateur Hour and Jackie Gleason's Cavalcade of Stars(The Jackie Gleason Show).
