  • The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956"
    `1 | P a g e "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956" Volume 1 of 2 By Bobby Ellerbee And Eyes Of A Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgement This is the first known chronological listing that details the conversions of NBC’s Radio City studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Also included in this exclusive presentation by and for Eyes Of A Generation, are the outside performance theaters and their conversion dates to NBC 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 network that pioneered so much of the new medium. As you will see, many shows were done as “remotes” in NBC radio studios with in-house mobile camera units, and predate the official conversion date which signifies the studio now has its own control room and stage lighting. Eyes Of A Generation, would like to offer a huge thanks to the many past and present NBC people that helped, but most especially to Frank Merklein (NBC 1947-1961) Joel Spector (NBC 1965-2001), Dennis Degan (NBC 2003 to present), historian David Schwartz (GSN) and Gady Reinhold (CBS 1966 to present), for their first hand knowledge, photos and help. This presentation is presented as a public service by the world’s ultimate destination for television history…The Eyes Of A Generation. –Bobby Ellerbee http://www.eyesofageneration.com/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Eyes-Of-A-Generationcom/189359747768249 `2 | P a g e "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956" Volume 1 of 2 Contents Please Note: Converted should be understood as the debut date of the facility as an exclusive TV studio, now equipped with its own control room.

  • The Early History of Howdy Doody…Television's First
    1 | P a g e The Early History Of Howdy Doody…Television’s First Hit For those not old enough to remember, “The Howdy Doody Show” was much more than just Buffalo Bob and Howdy Doody….it was the beginning of television as a brand new form of entertainment. It was radio with pictures and it was revolutionary. With a TV set and an antenna, suddenly the world could come to your living room. Although primitive by today’s standards, it was the hottest ticket on the planet, and Howdy Doody was the first hit show on television! Television’s second hit was also from NBC, and debuted 6 months after Howdy…it was “The Texaco Star Theater” with Milton Berle. They called Milton “Mr. Television,” because a lot of adults bought a set to see him. With a nation full of kids wanting to see Howdy though, you can rest assured; a lot of sets were bought to keep the children happy too. As is often the case with history, in its retelling, the waters get muddied and important facts become mangled. Before long, it’s hard to know if you are reading the truth or not. With that in mind, I have decided to retell the story of how it all started to the best of our ability, AND…I’m doing it with the help of one of America’s foremost authorities on Howdy Doody, Burt Dubrow. – Bobby Ellerbee / Eyes Of A Generation.com (Revised Dec. 28, 2016) http://www.eyesofageneration.com/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Eyes-Of-A-Generationcom/189359747768249 This is a 1952 photo of Buffalo Bob Smith with Howdy, and on the right, Bob Keeshan taking off his Clarabell makeup.

It was also announced today that NBC will broadcast 272.5 hours of coverage, the most ever for an Olympic broadcast network, largely attributable to an increase in daytime coverage. “We are only able to provide this level of coverage to U.S. viewers because of the unmatched array of NBCUniversal assets,” said Mark Lazarus, Chairman, NBC Sports Group. “Whether on television or online, on broadcast or cable, in English or in Spanish, NBCUniversal has the London Olympics covered, providing the American viewer with more choices than ever to watch the Games.” Following are highlights of NBCUniversal’s coverage of the 2012 London Olympics (some of the following information has been previously announced): • NBCUniversal is presenting its 13th Olympic Games and seventh consecutive, both the most by any U.S. media company. ABC is second with 10 and four (twice), respectively. o London will be NBCUniversal’s seventh consecutive Summer Games, having presented each one since Seoul in 1988. • The 5,535 hours of Olympic coverage are the most ever and surpass Beijing’s coverage (3,600 hours) by nearly 2,000 hours.

Colywn, Pennsylvania, and about your family. Where were your folks from? Wilder: My – I think – I know my father’s family are from North Carolina. I think my mother’s family were also from North Carolina. Apparently they had come North much earlier than my father’s family, because my mother was born in Pennsylvania. My father was born in North Carolina. He left – my grandfather brought his family to Philadelphia – to Colwyn, as a matter of fact. That’s something I don’t really understand. I don’t know how they managed to end up in Colwyn, but that’s where they did. My father was 12 years old at that time. He’s now – he’ll be 92 in November – the 23rd of November. Burstein: So this was in 1912 that they came there. Wilder: Yeah, in 1912 he came – they came to Colwyn. There were – in Colwyn, I think there was my paternal grandparents and my maternal grandparents, and my aunts and uncles, and my family.
