CBS Television City…Circa 1988

Posted on March 9, 2013April 28, 2021


CBS Television City…Circa 1988

This clip takes a look back as CBS prepares for it’s 60th Anniversary. Since the company became CBS in 1928, I’m guessing this was shot in 87 or 88. Enjoy!

The men and women who shaped American television —producers, directors, engineers, studio crews, and the families of industry legends shared their stories, photos, documents, and memories with me. Many told me the same thing, even the historians for the networks:

“You’re preserving the only institutional knowledge we have left.”

Eyes Of A Generation has always been a collection of history, but now — it has, by default, become a home for the institutional memory of ABC, NBC, and CBS.

In the same way networks kept the videotapes tapes but erased the talent, skill, craftsmanship and even revenue those recorded shows represented…they have lost their histories too!

This is television’s story — created by the people who shaped it and safeguarded here, for those who come after.
