Rare…CBS Studio 52 Spec Sheets From 1961

At one time, the CBS production office had a big book listing all their studios, complete with diagrams of the stage and all the technical specifications. Thanks to Gady Reinhold, we get to see these pages on Studio 52 from the 1961 edition.

Having just seen this studio in the IGAS video post just before this should make this a lot more interesting. A lot of CBS game shows came from here including ‘I’ve Got A Secret’, ‘To Tell The Truth’, ‘What’s My Line’, ‘Password’ and several soap operas eventually came from here including ‘Love Of Life’. ‘The Arthur Godfrey Show’ and ‘Arthur Murray’s Dance Party’ also came from 52.

I think the first television shows done here may have been ‘The 54th Street Revue’ directed by Ralph Levy in late 1949. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee
