Production

United Artists' (UA) Aubrey Schenck-Howard W. Koch Productions filmed 38 episodes of Miami Undercover in Florida in the fall of 1959. Limited time slots for syndicated series and an excess of shows that featured private investigators resulted in the show's not being broadcast until January 1961. By then UA had acquired Ziv Productions, whose sales people helped to gain 141 markets for the show. An additional factor was that the UA-Ziv combination had no other new programs to meet its commitments for January 1961.
