WNBT Schedule, Week of May 25th, 1947

Here’s the schedule for WNBT (NBC’s flagship TV station in New York City) for the week starting Sunday, May 25th, 1947. The New York Times published daily listings for television stations in the city, including WNBT, alongside its comprehensive radio listings.

Baseball returned with a vengeance this week, with four games scheduled. The previous week, WNBT had zero baseball games scheduled. At Home with Tex and Jinx kicked off the station’s evening lineup on Sunday (May 25th). A play called “Welcome Jeremiah” followed at 8:30PM.

The regular boxing bout on Monday (May 26th) did not air. In its place, WNBT broadcast a film called Let’s Sing Again. This may have been the 1936 film with Bobby Breen.

The first baseball game of the week was scheduled for Tuesday (May 27th). It pitted the New York Giants against the Brooklyn Dodgers.

A second Giants-Dodgers game was scheduled for Wednesday (May 28th) afternoon. That evening, WNBT aired Kraft Television Theatre and In the Kelvinator Kitchen.
