Byline (TV series)

In the 1950s, when companies directly sponsored entire TV programs, it was not unusual for a sponsor to place its name directly on the title of the show (such as The US Steel Hour or The Bell Telephone Hour).

The full fourteen-word title by sponsor Kaiser Motors is believed to be the longest for any program in US television history.
