Washington Exclusive was an American news and public affairs television program broadcast on the DuMont Television Network and produced by Martha Roundtree and Lawrence Spivak, who also co-produced Meet the Press.

Broadcast history

[edit]

The series ran nationally from June 21 to November 1, 1953, and was hosted by Frank McNaughton. The show aired Sunday nights at 7:30 pm ET. Six former U.S. senators appeared on the panel, discussing current issues.[1] The series was cancelled in November 1953.

This series is not to be confused with the similarly named Washington Report, another DuMont public-affairs program from Washington which aired from May to August 1951.
