The early years of television included the network known as the DuMont network. DuMont began operations in 1944 as station WABD in New York. Paramount Pictures provided the early funds for the station. The network, however, lacked a radio station which its rival networks already had. TV experts have stated that a radio network was essential for signing on TV affiliates.

Complications with the FCC and complicated court rulings prevented DuMont from owning as many stations as its rival networks. Due to all this, DuMont ceased to operate in 1956.

the channel that you watch the television show on is called a television network. The television network (NBC or FOX or CBS etc) pays for and produces the episode, and airs it on their channel trying to get as many viewers as possible. The network makes money by selling advertisement time during commercials. the more viewers a show has on average, the more advertisers will pay to have their commercials appear on that network.
