Noticed how TV series get cancelled after less than 10 episodes these days if they don't get enough sponsors? Back in the 50's, DuMont sometimes broadcasted show with ZERO advertising! If they became popular enough, they might of got a sponsor (Like this show) or were sponsored by DuMont's electronics division (Like "The Morey Amsterdam Show"). This footage is from before "Captain Video" had a sponsor, and it's a fantastic PSA!
