 With just one owned-and-operated station, Paramount's program service never gelled into a true television network; television historians such as Alex McNeil (1996) consider Paramount programs syndicated rather than network series.While the Paramount series "Hollywood Wrestling" and "Time For Beany" were widely seen on stations across the United States, most other Paramount television programs aired in only a handful of markets (another exception, "Hollywood Reel", aired in fourteen major cities in 1950).Paramount's revenues were much smaller than those of a true television network, and gradually Paramount began losing program sponsors or ended production on formerly-popular television series.
