    1 The History of CBS New York Television Studios: 1937-1965 By Bobby Ellerbee and Eyes of a Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgements This is the first known chronological listing that details the CBS television studios in New York City. Included in this exclusive presentation by and for Eyes of a Generation, are the outside performance theaters and their conversion dates to CBS Television theaters. This compilation gives us the clearest and most concise guide yet to the production and technical operations of television’s early days and the efforts at CBS to pioneer the new medium. This story is told to the best of our abilities, as a great deal of the information on these facilities is now gone…like so many of the men and women who worked there. I’ve told this as concisely as possible, but some elements are dependent on the memories of those who were there many years ago, and from conclusions drawn from research. If you can add to this with facts or photos, please contact me, as this is an ongoing project. (First Revision: August 6, 2018). Eyes of a Generation would like to offer a huge thanks to the many past and present CBS people that helped, but most especially to television historian and author David Schwartz (GSN), and Gady Reinhold (CBS 1966 to present), for their first-hand knowledge, photos and help. Among the distinguished CBS veterans providing background information are Dr. Joe Flaherty, George Sunga, Dave Dorsett, Allan Brown, Locke Wallace, Rick Scheckman, Jim Hergenrather, Craig Wilson and Bruce Martin.

  • The History of NBC West Coast Studios
    1 The History Of NBC West Coast Studios By Bobby Ellerbee and Eyes Of A Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgement This is a unique look at the events that preceded the need for NBC television studios in Hollywood. As in New York, the radio division led the way. This project is somewhat different than the prior reports on the New York studios of NBC and CBS for two reasons. The first reason is that in that in those reports, television was brand-new and being developed through the mechanical function to an electronic phenomenon. Most of that work occurred in and around the networks’ headquarters in New York. In this case, both networks were at the mercy of geological and technological developments outside their own abilities: the Rocky Mountains and AT&T. The second reason has to do with the success of the network’s own stars. Their popularity on radio soon translated to public demand once “talking pictures” became possible. That led many New York based radio stars to Hollywood and, in a way, Mohamed had to come to the mountain. This story is told to the best of our abilities, as a great deal of the information on these facilities is now gone…like so many of the men and women who worked there. I’ve told this as concisely as possible, but some elements are dependent on the memories of those who were there many years ago, and from conclusions drawn from research.

  • The Origins and Earliest Surviving Live Tv Broadcast Recordings
    Television Recording Origins: Oldest Surviving Live TV Broadcast – R. Shagawat TELEVISION RECORDING – THE ORIGINS AND EARLIEST SURVIVING LIVE TV BROADCAST RECORDINGS By Robert Shagawat E Mail: [email protected] Abstract Of Information as of October 4, 2004 updated October 2010 – April 2011 1947 DuMont RA-103 TV Set Early Kinescope Recording Machine Called the Chatham (or “Doghouse”) model Introduction - Oldest Surviving Record of Live Television Program: What is the earliest surviving live television broadcast recording? It is surprising how little definitive research and solid information is available on this topic. This article seeks to answer this question, based on what we know today. Lack of Prior Research: While there has been a significant amount of research done on the oldest surviving live radio broadcast airchecks (from 1925 or earlier), there is a scarcity of comprehensive research on the earliest live TV transmission recordings that are still in existence. This dearth of information on what remains of the formative years of television was not anticipated, given the vital importance of the TV legacy to the “baby boomers” raised on the media. It is also amazing, given the relatively recent appearance of television during the 20th century (where more documentation of its earliest records would be thought to exist). Historic Means of Capturing Live Television: First of all, we must understand how early TV broadcasts could be captured in the days before videotape and later analog and digital recording methods (as will be further elaborated below). The kinescope recording was filmed from the kinescope or cathode ray tube TV receiver, where these films of live television as taken from the kinescope device were soon themselves just called “kinescopes”.
