1950–51 United States network television schedule (late night)

From May 29, 1950 through August 24, 1951, NBC aired programming in the late night television time slot, the first U.S. television network to do so.

None of the other three major broadcast networks (CBS, Du Mont or ABC) attempted late-night TV during this time frame. Du Mont's first and only show would begin in 1954 (the same year NBC returned to the time slot after a three-year hiatus), ABC would begin in 1964 and CBS in 1969. Most stations in this early period of television signed off during the late night hours.

Talk/variety shows are highlighted in yellow, local programming is white.
