WNBT Schedule, Week of October 26th, 1947

Here’s the schedule for WNBT (NBC’s flagship TV station in New York City) for the week starting Sunday, October 26th, 1947. The New York Times published daily listings for television stations in the city, including WNBT, alongside its comprehensive radio listings.

On Sunday (October 26th), WNBT kicked off its broadcast week with a scheduled football game between the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Steelers. That evening, the station aired a variety of programs, including Week’s News Highlights, Musical Miniatures, and a feature film.

The highlight on Monday (October 27th), was boxing from St. Nicholas Arena. There were no programs scheduled on Tuesday (October 28th).

Kraft Television Theatre and In the Kelvinator Kitchen aired as usual on Wednesday (October 29th). Then came something called “The Mask Parade,” followed by a film titled Downtown Quarterback. Could this be the same film that aired the previous week on Thursday, October 23rd? Perhaps the earlier broadcast had to be rescheduled.

Another installment of Seven Arts Quiz aired on Thursday (October 30th), plus Musical Merry-Go-Round, You Are an Artist, and Capital Citizen.

On Friday (October 31st), Edward Wagner guested on Swift Home Service Club. WNBT broadcast a “Children’s Hallowe’en Party” at 6:30PM ET. Lou Little’s football program aired at 8PM, followed by The World in Your Home and more boxing.

An afternoon football game between Princeton and Pennsylvania aired on Saturday (November 1st).
