Summary edit

• A copyright search was done for the year 1952 under motion pictures/films, artwork, and drama. Searches were done for Kovacs, WCBS, CBS and Columbia Broadcasting System. Nothing pertaining to this television program was located.

• To be certain of the PD status, another search using the same criteria was done at copyright.gov for possible renewals, and nothing pertinent was located.

• Before uploading the photo, there was a discussion at en.WP regarding its PD status, as I wanted to be sure I was interpreting things correctly.

• Since there was never a copyright on record, I will license this as PD-pre 1978.
