	DuMont Television Network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Founded by Dr. <b>Allenb> B. DuMont, generally considered one of the inventors of television, DuMont Laboratories was incorporated in 1935; Dr. DuMont and his staff were responsible for many early technical innovations, and the company's sets, offered from 1938, were said to be superior to those of rival RCA.
		DuMont aspired to grow beyond its three stations, applying for licenses in Philadelphia and Cincinnati; this would have given the network five VHF stations, the maximum allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) at the time.
		DuMont bought a small, distressed UHF station in Kansas City in 1954, but ran it for just two months before shutting it down at a considerable loss, after attempting to compete with three established VHF stations.
