The Admiral Broadway Revue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Admiral Broadway Revue was a TV series aired in the United States during 1949. It was broadcast simultaneously on both NBC and DuMont. The hour-long variety series was hosted by Sid Caesar and also starred Imogene Coca, and led directly to Your Show of Shows, a new program on NBC.
The series, oddly enough, was sponsored by TV set manufacturer Admiral, a company which was in direct competition with RCA (the parent company of NBC) and DuMont, which both manufactured TV sets.
