Mystery Ranch

This film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-1946. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast. Its earliest documented Post-WWII telecasts took place in Fort Worth Saturday 9 October 1948 on WBAP (Channel 5), in Boston Saturday 1 January 1949 on WBZ (Channel 4), in Atlanta Saturday 8 January 1949 on WSB (Channel 8), in Cincinnati where it was shown in 2 parts Sunday-Monday 22-23 May 1949 on WKRC (Channel 11); it first aired in Philadelphia Wednesday 9 November 1949 on WFIL (Channel 6).
