After the Deadlines


After the Deadlines is an American evening news program of the early 1950s. It was broadcast on the American [Broadcasting Company|ABC] network from April 1951 to October 1952.
Typical of evening television news programs of the era, it lasted fifteen minutes. After the Deadlines aired at 7:00 PM, earlier than its competitors, Camel News Caravan and Douglas Edwards with the News in an attempt to draw news viewers from these more-established networks. Its predecessor was News and Views, and its successor was All-Star News and, eventually, ABC [World News Tonight], as seen in this list:

In 1951 and 1952, most American households did not have television receivers, and ABC was a distinctly minor network compared to NBC and CBS, so After the Deadlines was not a major factor in the overall news business, and the identity of the anchor or anchors of After the Deadlines may be lost to history.
