Al Jolson on Television

Although Al Jolson never appeared on commercial television, he was actively looking into a program at the time of his death. To this day, his movies continue to be shown on broadcast and cable TV, making his works available to those who never saw him in life. On this page, find out which movies are on the schedule for broadcast soon, and use the links to request material from media outlets.

We are seeing nothing on the schedules for the coming months. Sorry! Will post something as soon as it surfaces.

Please do contact TCM at the link below, and ask them to screen more Jolson movies; they have them all in their library. Let us know if you receive more than a form response.

By far, the largest collection of Jolson movies is held by Turner Broadcasting. Many of the early movies have aired on the network, as well as the Plantation Act short. Feel free to drop them a note, thanking them for their past attentions, and requesting future screenings of Jolson movies.

When you write any media outlet, network, or station, a copy to webmaster@jolson.org would be appreciated; and let us know if you receive any reply or results!
