There is some dispute as to the exact lineup on DuMont in the winter. The above listing is according to What Women Watched: Daytime Television in the 1950s (University of Texas Press, 2005) by Marsha Cassidy. This would create a conflict with some other sources that have TV Shopper still in the lineup at this time.

  • On Dumont, Okay, Mother was previously aired on New York based WABD channel, then the network flagship station.
