Billy the Kid Outlawed

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. Its earliest documented telecast took place in New York City Saturday 3 February 1945 on pioneer television station WNBT (Channel 1); post-WWII televiewers got their first look at in in Buffalo Saturday 10 July 1948 on WBEN (Channel 4), in Baltimore Saturday 14 August 1948 on WBAL (Channel 11), in New York City and Philadelphia and Washington DC Sunday 5 September 1948 on WCBS (Channel 2) and WCAU (Channel 10) and WMAL (Channel 7), in Syracuse Sunday 6 February 1949 on WHEN (Channel 8), in Dayton Saturday 12 March 1949 on WHIO (Channel 13), in Albuquerque Wednesday 30 March 1949 on KOB (Channel 4), and in Chicago Monday 30 January 1950 on WGN (Channel 9).
