New York Times Youth Forum
New York Times Youth Forum was a public affairs program, sponsored by The New York Times and aired Sundays at 5pm EST on the now-defunct DuMont Television Network from September 14, 1952, to June 14, 1953. The host was Dorothy Gordon, who continued to host the show on WABD from the time the network closed in 1956 until 1958 when it moved to WRCA-TV.
The Times dropped sponsorship in 1960, at which point radio simulcasts moved from WQXR to WNBC. Thereafter, Gordon continued the show as Dorothy Gordon's Youth Forum, winning a Peabody Award in 1966. Gordon continued to host the show until her death in 1970. The show also appeared first-run as late as April 23, 1967 on WNBC-TV.Episode status
