  • Great video. Nice job on the audio transfer. That's about as good an an optical kine track is ever going to sound!

  • I thought this was actually one of two back-to-back specials CBS broadcast upon the opening of Television City.

    Besides this entertainment show, wasn't there also a documentary hosted by Edward R. Murrow, taking viewers on a behind-the-scenes look at TV production, immediately before or after this special??

  • Actually, the CBS "eye" [created by William Golden] was officially introduced in September 1951. Television City replaced "Columbia Square" {originally the network's West Coast radio studios, most of which were converted for TV as early as 1949} as the network's West Coast telecast facilities in November '52.

  • Both CBS and NBC pioneered in studio facilities, CBS with this, and NBC with 'Color City' (NBC Burbank). Both impressive facilities for their time.

  • Ahh, the birth of the CBS eyes. Still going strong for 58 years

  • Bravo! I wish that we could see it in its entirety!

  • Great to see that somebody had the foresight to preserve some of the early network image promos.

  • It must have been very exciting to work in television in it's infancy. Jack Benny, by the way, did his show from Studio 33 (now the Bob Barker Studio).

  • The famous CBS curtains make an appearance.
