Fighting Hero

This film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-1946. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast. It's earliest documented telecasts took place in Chicago Saturday 19 March 1949 on WGN (Channel 9), in Atlanta Saturday 2 April 1949 on WSB (Channel 8), in Los Angeles Saturday 16 April 1949 on KTSL (Channel 2), in Cincinnati, where it was shown in 2 parts, Tuesday-Wednesday 28-29 June 1949 on WKRC (Channel 11), and in New York City Sunday 16 April 1950 on WPIX (Channel 11).
