[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - Admiral Broadway Revue was an American live television variety show that ran from January 28 to June 3, 1949. The show was broadcast live on Fridays from 8 to 9 pm ET simultaneously on both the NBC and the DuMont networks.

The show was telecast from the since-demolished International Theatre (also known as the Park Theatre) at 5 Columbus Circle in New York.[2] The hour-long series was directed by Max Liebman, hosted by Sid Caesar, and also starred Imogene Coca. Liebman, Caesar, and Coca would go on to work on NBC's Your Show of Shows, which debuted February 25, 1950.[1]

The series was sponsored by TV-set manufacturer Admiral, a company that was in direct competition with NBC's parent company RCA and with DuMont, both of which also manufactured TV sets. For this reason, and because Admiral was unable to keep up with the demand for its sets due to the show, the series was canceled. Its final episode aired June 3, 1949.
