Happy 64th Birthday…NBC Studio 8H

On January 30, 1951,Studio 8H was dedicated as a television studio.

On November 7, 1933, 8H was the home of the first NBC Radio broadcast from the new 30 Rockefeller Plaza headquarters and was then known as the Auditorium Studio.

As early as April 19, 1944, television had occasionally come from here with occasional broadcasts/simulcasts of “The Voice Of Firestone”. The 1944 occasion was only a local event, but in 1949 there were a few network television simulcasts of Firestone. All were covered as remotes, even thought they were in the building.

The story continues on the many pages of very rare historical documents and photos, so please click on each. Enjoy and Share! -Bobby Ellerbee
