To Sports Fans, This Set Should Look Familiar…CBS Studio 43

On Saturdays and Sundays during football season, this is ground zero for the CBS Television Network’s sports coverage. I make that distinction because next door, in Studio 44 is the CBS Sports Network cable channel’s headquarters set. This set in use year round for all sports, but I seem to see it more in the fall.

I took this back in June at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York and just to be clear, this is the NY Studio 43 as there is a Studio 43 at Television City too. Edited and corrected now. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

    I believe that the soap “Search For Tomorrow” taped in Studio 43 from the late 70s until late 1982(even for a few months after the move to NBC)

    My favorite has to be classic NFL Today set from 81-89. The funny thing was that it doubled for a few years as the CBS Morning News set.

    Thank You for what you do. I miss working in TV Broadcasting. I can honestly say this. I was DAMN good at Directing/Technical Directing Newscasts for over 20 years. May 1981 to Oct of 2001. Great Years!
