[[File:DuMont_Affiliates_1949.png|thumb|308x308px|Map of affiliates for the DuMont Television Network, 1949]]
This is a partial '''list of affiliates of the [[DuMont Television Network]]''', which operated in the United States from 1946 to 1955.

No definitive list of affiliated stations from 1946 to 1955 exists, and many sources contradict one another. Due to a lack of local stations in most [[media market]]s, most DuMont affiliates were also affiliates of [[NBC]], [[CBS]] or [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], or in some cases, all of the above.<ref name="TroyDa19550519p4">{{Cite news |last=Gaver |first=Jack |date=May 19, 1955 |title=Dumont To Drop Coaxial Cable Except For East |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/troy-daily-news-dumont-to-drop-coaxial-c/170838891/ |access-date=April 22, 2025 |newspaper=Troy Daily News |___location=Troy, Ohio |page=4 |via=Newspapers.com |agency=United Press}}</ref> This problem was heightened by the FCC imposing a [[FCC#Freeze of 1948|freeze on any new television station permits]] in 1948.<ref>{{unbulleted list citebundle|{{Cite news|last=Crater|first=Rufus|date=October 4, 1948|id={{ProQuest|1040475180}}|title=Television Freeze: FCC Action Halted Pending Definite Policy|volume=35|page=22A, 57|work=Broadcasting|issue=14}}|{{Cite news|date=October 11, 1948|id={{ProQuest|1285668301}}|title=TV Freeze: Generally Approved by Industry|volume=35|page=28|work=Broadcasting|issue=15}}}}</ref> The [[AT&T Corporation|AT&T]] [[Bell System]] nationwide [[coaxial cable]] network was in construction throughout much of DuMont's existence, thus, many affiliates carried programming prerecorded via [[kinescope]].<ref name="Miam520701">{{Cite news |date=July 1, 1952 |title=Although It Was 'Canned': Miami Sees Its First Network Video Show |url=https://newspapers.com/article/the-miami-herald-although-it-was-canned/147207573/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240513041310/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-miami-herald-although-it-was-canned/147207573/ |archive-date=May 13, 2024 |access-date=May 13, 2024 |newspaper=The Miami Herald |___location=Miami, Florida |page=1-C |via=Newspapers.com}}</ref> By 1952, this cable network was still incomplete; a map of affiliates in ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]''{{'}}s ''1952 Production Encyclopedia'' showed affiliates in [[Seattle]], [[Miami]], [[Dallas]]–[[Fort Worth]] and [[New Orleans]] were still unconnected.{{r|HR}} Other affiliates in small markets were fully dependent on affiliates in larger markets via [[microwave relay]]; for example, [[KDZA-TV]] in [[Pueblo, Colorado]], relied on [[KFEL-TV]] in [[Denver]] for DuMont programming.<ref name="ghost" /> DuMont's advertising revenues depended on being able to be viewed nationwide. As a result, the company made affiliation agreements which have been described as "a crazy patchwork of deals".
Few stations carried the entire DuMont lineup. ''[[Life Is Worth Living]]'' was DuMont's most popular show with 172 affiliates clearing it when the network closed in 1955; by contrast, ''[[Life Begins at Eighty]]'' aired over 37 stations, ''[[Chance of a Lifetime (TV series)|Chance of a Lifetime]]'' on 27 stations, and ''[[Studio 57]]'' on only four.<ref name="Weinstein">{{Cite book |last=Weinstein |first=David |title=The Forgotten Network: DuMont and the Birth of American Television |publisher=Temple University Press |year=2004 |isbn=1-59213-499-8 |___location=Philadelphia |page=157}}</ref>{{r|BC550420p7}} Affiliates also fed sports coverage to the network: for example, [[Cleveland, Ohio]], affiliate [[WJW (TV)|WXEL]] produced [[Cleveland Browns]] games for the networks' [[NFL on DuMont|NFL coverage]].<ref name="BC511217">{{cite magazine |date=December 17, 1951 |title=Telefile: WXEL Ends Second Year of Cleveland Service |magazine=Broadcasting-Telecasting |pages=72–74 |volume=41 |issue=25 |id={{ProQuest|1401197747}}}}</ref><ref name="PlainD19550416p20">{{Cite news |date=April 16, 1955 |title=22-Station TV Network Airs Browns |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-plain-dealer-22-station-tv-network-a/160496854/ |access-date=December 8, 2024 |newspaper=The Plain Dealer |___location=Cleveland, Ohio |page=20 |via=Newspapers.com}}</ref> In the network's later years, DuMont's affiliates consisted largely of poorly-watched UHF stations that signed on from 1953 onward and were ill-equipped to compete with established [[VHF]] stations.
