''Boxing From St. Nicholas Arena'' is an American sports program originally broadcast on NBC from 1946 to 1948, and later on the now-defunct DuMont Television Network from 1954 to 1956. ==Broadcast history== The DuMont version was hosted by Chris Schenkel. This regularly scheduled program, which aired boxing matches from St. Nicholas Arena in New York City on Monday nights, is notable for being the final program to air on DuMont. The last network-aired program was broadcast on August 6, 1956, though a few remaining programs were seen locally on New York's WABD afterward.〔 With limited finances, DuMont aired many sports programs throughout its history. Boxing, wrestling, basketball, and football were always network mainstays, even during prime time, as they were cheaper than most scripted programs and filled large programming blocks that would otherwise have gone unfilled.〔(The DuMont Television Network Historical Web Site )〕 Most of DuMont's regular series were cancelled on April 1, 1955, and the last non-sports program, the game show ''What's the Story'', left the airwaves on September 23, 1955, leaving only a few cheaply produced sports programs on the schedule. However, by August 1956, even DuMont's sports programs, including ''Boxing From St. Nicholas Arena'', were axed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boxing from St. Nicholas Arena」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
