WNBT Schedule, Week of July 27th, 1947

Here’s the schedule for WNBT (NBC’s flagship TV station in New York City) for the week starting Sunday, July 27th, 1947. The New York Times published daily listings for television stations in the city, including WNBT, alongside its comprehensive radio listings.

WNBT closed out July 1947 with a typical week. There were no baseball games scheduled. Sporting events were limited to trotting races on Monday (July 28th) and boxing on Friday (August 1st).

Campus Hoopla went on hiatus beginning this week. In its place, WNBT debuted Disc Magic on Friday. Jack Kilty hosted the music series. A singer himself, Kilty served as a video disc jockey, playing records but also introducing guests from radio, theater, film, and television. Renamed Musical Merry-Go-Round in October, the series remained on the air until March 1949.

(Campus Hoopla returned to WNBT–and the NBC network–in November October 1947.)

On Saturday (August 2nd), WNBT broadcast coverage of an Army Air Forces air show at Long Island’s Mitchel Field. The previous day, the nation celebrated Air Force Day, commemorating the Army Air Forces and the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the U.S. Army Signal Corps Aeronautical Division.
