The Ted Steele Show

The Ted Steele Show is a 15-minute musical variety show which aired on the now defunct DuMont Television Network from February 27 to July 12, 1949. Each episode was hosted by bandleader Ted Steele, who appeared on many programs during the early days of television. A previous version of the show aired on NBC on Wednesdays at 8:30pm and then Fridays at 9pm ET during the 1948-1949 television season, with the first show airing September 29, 1948. Steele later presented local daytime TV shows under the same title, running from 2:30 to 5:30pm ET, on WPIX-TV and WOR-TV, which hired Steele away from WPIX in July 1954.
