Broadcast history

The series was a talk show ran from 1949 to 1951 hosted by Charles Tranum. The program, produced and distributed by DuMont, aired Monday through Friday at 7:30pm or 7:45pm ET on most DuMont affiliates.[1]

From December 1949 to June 1950, Easy Aces aired in the Wednesday 7:45pm slot. During the 1950-1951 season, the Hazel Scott, Joan Edwards, and Susan Raye shows all ran in the 7:45pm ET slot immediately after Manhattan Spotlight.

The series was cancelled in 1951, and DuMont replaced the series with local (non-network) programming.

gollark: I've decided to just get rid of it, since mold removal seems complicated, there's quite a lot of mold, and I have an electronic copy anyway.
gollark: It turns out there was actually mold growing on a book on one of my chairs.
