The Admiral Broadway Revue was a U.S.
TV series which premiered on
28 January 1949, and was broadcast simultaneously on both
NBC and
DuMont. The hour-long
variety series was directed by
Max Liebman, hosted by
Sid Caesar, and also starred
Imogene Coca. Liebman, Caesar, and Coca all worked later on
Your Show of Shows, a new program on NBC.
The series, oddly enough, was sponsored by TV set manufacturer Admiral, a company which was in direct competition with RCA (the parent company of NBC) and DuMont, which both manufactured TV sets.
