WNBT Schedule, Week of January 12th, 1947

[NOTE: An incomplete version of this post was accidentally published this morning. I apologize for the error.]

Here’s the schedule for WNBT, the NBC station in New York City, for the week starting Sunday, January 12th, 1947. The New York Times published daily listings for TV stations alongside its comprehensive radio listings.

No TV listings were published for Sunday, January 12th. However, WNBT likely aired its regular lineup that included Face to Face and Tele-varieties.

I can’t find the movie aired on Monday, January 13th–Death of the Plains–at the Internet Movie Database. However, there was a movie released in 1943 called Death Rides the Plains. Perhaps the listing was inaccurate.

The New York Times published no listings for Tuesday, January 14th. It remains unclear whether the paper simply didn’t print listings or if WNBT actually wasn’t on the air. On Wednesday, January 14th, the station did sign on to broadcast live coverage of a March of Dimes fundraiser from Rockefeller Plaza.

Finally, an indoor polo match aired on Saturday, January 11th in addition to the regular evening movie.

  1. “Death Rides the Plans” (not “Death of the Plains”}, a 1943 “B” Western featuring Bob Livingston (as “The Lone Rider”), with Al St. John as his sidekick, “Fuzzy”, had previously been scheduled on WNBT as early as October 1946.
