The Armed Forces Hour is an early American television program originally broadcast on NBC and later on the now defunct DuMont Television Network. The series ran from 1949 to 1951. Despite the title of the series, it was a half-hour program.
The Armed Forces Hour was a television program "culled from the estimated 500 million feet of film" archived at the U.S. Department of Defense. Production was supervised by Major Robert Keim and Lieutenant Benjamin Greenberg.
After a one-season run on NBC, the network cancelled the series in 1950. However, on February 4, 1951, the series started again on the DuMont Television Network, with the last DuMont episode airing on May 6, 1951.
