    I’ve heard interviewees speak about this early studio on Emmy Legends Interviews.

    I believe famed sports director, Harry Coyle worked at Dumont after leaving the service and his bomber in 1945.

    I alway love history of DuMont; maker of the World’s heaviest television equipment. But I gotta say: that set creeps me out.

    I saw some newsreel footage of the Wanamakers fire. Holy crackers!
