Dumont created TV their TVs actually had radio in it too. Dumont TV episodes were dumped AFTER the silver in the film was retrieved hence like comic books of the old days were destroyed for their pulp to be used in WW2 paper drives. Dumont lost almost ALL their film for the silver content. UCLA has most the remaining copies, what is left. Dumont was history TV history Jackie Gleason's Honeymooners started on Dumont. So imagine part one of American TV was Dumont remember many men coming back from WW2 bought homes AND TVs many were Dumont TVs and many kids watched Dumont shows. So, never forget…
