Rare New Video…Inside NBC Radio Studio 6B, 1945

We’ve seen a similar film in the past, but this seems to be a new addition to the AT&T archives. In the beginning, we meet the people in the studio, but at 6:00, we get a couple of minutes behind the scenes and see how the program is distributed on the nation wide NBC network by AT&T. Remember, back then, everything had to go through Ma Bell, including television.

Notice how large the studio is and well lit this is. When 6A and 6B became radio studios in November of 1941, just a month before Pearl Harbor, they were built with TV in mind.  Thanks to Steve Finkelmeyer for sharing this. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee
