Time for Reflection is an early American television program that aired on the DuMont Television Network. Newspapers from the time show that it began airing on June 27, 1949, as a daily 5-minute program, Monday through Friday, from 5:25 pm to 5:30 pm.[1] It appears to have finished its run on January 19, 1951. By the time the program finished its run, it was airing as a 10-minute program, 5:15 pm to 5:25 pm.[2]
An additional source also lists it as running as a 15-minute Sunday night (6:45 to 7:00 p.m.) program of poetry and inspirational prose, read by host David Ross (1891–1975) and lasting from May 7, 1950 to October 22, 1950 in that timeslot.[3]
At least one kinescope from December 1950 is known to exist at UCLA, and is narrated by Fred Scott, long-time DuMont announcer who played Communications Officer Rogers on Captain Video.
