DuMont did not have the big budgets of [[CBS]] or [[NBC]], and relied on cost-cutting measures such as using unknown actors to star in network programs. These then-unknown actors included [[Hugh O'Brian]] and [[Natalie Wood]].<ref name="BM"/> ==References==▼ {{reflist}}▼ ==Bibliography== David Weinstein, ''The Forgotten Network: DuMont and the Birth of American Television'' (Philadelphia: [[Temple University Press]], 2004) ISBN 1-59213-245-6 Alex McNeil, ''Total Television'', Fourth edition (New York: [[Penguin Books]], 1980) ISBN 0-14-024916-8 Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh, ''The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network TV Shows'', Third edition (New York: [[Ballantine Books]], 1964) ISBN 0-345-31864-1 ==See also== [[List of programs broadcast by the DuMont Television Network]] *[[List of surviving DuMont Television Network broadcasts]] ▲==References== ▲{{reflist}} ==External links==
