The Alan Dale Show

The Alan Dale Show is an early American television program which ran on the DuMont Television Network in 1948, and then on CBS Television from 1950-1951. Broadcast history The Alan Dale Show was a musical variety show starring singers Alan Dale and Janie Ford and set in a record store. The program, produced and distributed by DuMont, premiered August 10, 1948, and aired Tuesday nights from 7:00 to 7:15 pm ET on most DuMont affiliates. Other regulars on the program were Karen Rich, The Sapphires, and The Arnold Holop Ensemble. John Shafer was the announcer. The network cancelled the series after a few months, but the series continued locally on DuMont's New York station WABD until March 1949. This show was reportedly the first DuMont series to use kinescopes for network broadcast.
