This was first purchased for telecast in New York City in mid-1948 by WPIX (Channel 11), as part of its newly acquired series of three dozen Hal Roach feature film productions, originally released theatrically between 1931-43 and now being syndicated for television broadcast by Regal Television Pictures. However, no record of WPIX ever showing the film has been found. Its earliest documented telecasts took place in Chicago Sunday 23 January 1949 on WBKB (Channel 4), in Philadelphia Tuesday 31 May 1949 on WCAU (Channel 10), in New York City Tuesday 2 August 1949 on WJZ (Channel 7), which picked up the Roach package after WPIX was finished with it, and in Cincinnati Sunday 4 September 1949 on WCPO (Channel 7).
