The following is a list of DuMont programs which are known to exist in the UCLA Film and Television Archive,
painstakingly compiled by the author by searching for individual DuMont
program titles in UCLA's online database. UCLA claims over 300 DuMont
titles in its collection; this page lists 314. It is possible, however,
that some DuMont programs may have been overlooked by the author or that
UCLA may have misidentified some programs, so this list cannot be
considered definitive.
This is a listing of network programs only, and does not
include those which are known to be only local programs (e.g. airing on
DuMont's WABD-TV in New York City). Where doubt exists, air dates have
been used as the basis for verifying DuMont network programs, although
the air dates listed by UCLA have not been confirmed by any other
source. The exact air dates and program titles are included below, where
known. In time, more details of each program may be added.
The author has provided this list as a reference to
assist in documenting those DuMont programs which have survived and are
accessible to the public. You can use the University of California
system’s MELVYL catalog to search for other DuMont titles, or E-mail the author if you have any additions or corrections.
