"Frances Farmer Presents" was on six days a week, with Farmer doing her inserts live. Because WFBM was the NBC affiliate, in the final couple of years, FFP was produced in color.
She showed only the newest available movies from major studios, and even though rival station WISH-TV tried several different formats and hosts, it was never able to unseat FFP in the ratings.
"Frances Farmer Presents" was the number one show in its time period from the day it premiered until the day it left the air.
After Frances left in September, 1964, the morning movie host took over and the show became known as "Bernie Herman Presents."
