Daniel Harrison Overmyer (December 6, 1924 – July 24, 2012) was an American businessman and warehouse mogul. During the height of his career, Overmyer was referred to as "the king of warehousing." Overmyer founded and operated the D. H. Overmyer Warehouse Company, which included more than 350 warehouses and 32 million square feet of space in North America and Europe. In June 1964, Overmyer also established the D. H. Overmyer Communications Company to construct several ultrahigh frequency television stations. In July 1966, the Overmyer Network was announced to create a fourth television network competing with ABC, CBS and NBC. In March 1967, control of the Overmyer Network passed to new owners who changed the name to the United Network before broadcasting started on May 1, 1967. The network was unsuccessful and ceased operation after one month, with the last broadcast occurring on May 31. Overmyer's acquisition and subsequent transfer of five TV station permits was the subject of a congressional investigation and hearings in 1968. The investigation resulted in significant changes in the rules and policies of the Federal Communications Commission regulating the sale of broadcast stations. Because of information from the congressional proceedings, the Federal Communications Commission held a hearing from 1970 to 1980 to investigate expense submissions affecting Overmyer's character qualification to remain a broadcast station licensee.
