The Alan Dale Show was an early American television program broadcast on the now defunct DuMont Television Network. It was a musical variety show starring singers Alan Dale and Janie Ford; the program was set in a record store. Each week, Dale and Ford would lip sync to Alan Dale recordings. The program, produced and distributed by DuMont, aired Tuesday nights from 7:00-7:15 on most DuMont affiliates. The network cancelled the series after a few months, but the series continued locally on DuMont's New York station WABD until March of the following year.[1]
In 1950, Alan Dale would go on to host a series on CBS which bore the same name as the DuMont series. From June to November 1950, the new Alan Dale Show aired on Friday nights at 11 PM. Janie Ford did not star in the CBS version, which would change to a weekly evening program by December of the year. The CBS version of The Alan Dale Show was cancelled on January 16, 1951.[1]
