   Adam H. Kerman to All   
   death of Bruce DuMont   
   12 Sep 25 03:17:12   
   
   From: ahk@chinet.com   
      
   His uncle Allen was the famed electrical engineer who developed a better   
   cathode ray tube and made millions, and the founder of the DuMont   
   Television Network.   
      
   Bruce DuMont was a Chicago television and radio producer and broadcast   
   host and host of the syndicated Beyond the Beltway political round   
   table.   
      
   He founded the Museum of Broadcast Communications, whose exhibits have   
   been in various locations and have had years-long gaps in which   
   everything was just in storage. He gave up his broadcast career   
   (although continued guest hosting and his syndicated show) to run the   
   museum. They own the Charlie McCarthy puppet and Chuck Schaden's   
   old-time radio program collection.   
      
   I was there on opening day. I knew him slightly through his museum   
   activities.
