In the 1950s, when companies directly sponsored entire TV programs, it was not unusual for a sponsor to place its name directly on the title of the show (such as The US Steel Hour or The Bell Telephone Hour). The full fourteen-word title by sponsor Kaiser Motors is believed to be the longest for any program in US television history.[1]
The show was usually known simply as Byline during its six-week prime time run, and as News Gal when the series aired Saturdays at noon on the DuMont Television Network for two weeks in October 1951.[1]
Betty Furness portrayed a newswoman who fought espionage.[2] Other actors featured in the program included Don Cherry, Hank Frost, David Ross, and Bill Stern.[3]
