Between DuMont & the Fox Network, there was an attempt to start a fourth over-the-air TV network in 1967: originally it was to be called the Overmyer Network, named for its founder, then changed to the United Network. (See Wikipedia.)

The only program that was trotted out in this experiment was “The Las Vegas Show”, a TWO HOUR late night program, hosted by Bill Dana, five nights a week.

Miami’s CBS station WTVJ carried it at least partway in 1967.

I see no surviving video of this program. It may have only run maybe four weeks. It sure did sound ambitious; I have no idea how two hours could be filled nightly, especially on a fledgling group of stations. I understand that in addition to talk, there may have been comedy sketches, based on the list of those who were regulars.

Well, my question is, is there anywhere where video has survived, and where to view? I have seen promotional posters and snapshots I think, where the United Network “U” logo shows—-but no video.

I would also be curious as to how the two hours were divvied up; i.e., how much time was allotted to whomever and for whatever purpose.

Any info out there?
