The History of CBS New York Television Studios: 1937-1965
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. -

If you live in Butte, Montana, you are going to be goyish even if you are Jewish." -- Lenny Bruce "G~d could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers." -- Yiddish Proverb "Old friends, like old wines, ONLY GET MORE flavor." -- Yiddish Proverb "Don't look for more honor than your learning merits." -- Yiddish Proverb "First mend yourself, and then mend others." -- Yiddish Proverb "A hero is someone who can keep his mouth shut when he is right." -- Yiddish Proverb "Do not be wise in words - be wise in deeds." -- Yiddish Proverb "One old friend is better than two new ones." -- Yiddish Proverb "What you don't see with your eyes, don't invent with your mouth." -- Yiddish proverb "The wise man, even when he holds his tongue, says more than the fool when he speaks." -- Yiddish Proverb "You can't control the wind, but you can adjust your sails." -- Yiddish proverb 1 "As you teach, you learn." -- Yiddish Proverb "Behind every successful Jew stands a bigot who could not stop him." -- Sam Levenson "A half-truth is a whole lie." -- Yiddish Proverb "You can't shake hands with a clenched fist." -- Sam Levenson "Our faith is grounded in our Jewish tradition. We believe we're from the House of David. We believe we're from the House of Abraham, so we cannot hate our own." -- James Caviezel "I thought of such Christian inventions as the ghetto and the Jewish badge of shame. The Nazis didn't have to go very far to pick up their know-how." -- Lionel Blue "There are more important things in life than money. -
