CBS Studio 56, In Liederkrantz Hall…1960 Spec Sheets
With 1,800 square feet of floor space, Studio 56 was the second largest facility in the building. It was directly under 54, and as noted, could be noisy if both were in use at the same time. One of the most notable productions from this studio was ‘The Guiding Light’ and there’s a clip below in the comment section. This concludes the Liederkrantz Hall studios. Thanks to our friend Gady Reinhold for these rare documents.
According to my dad (Larry Auerbach), who directed “Love of Life” from that studio in the 1950s, he shared it with the Ernie Kovacs show, which aired in the morning, before LOL. Apparently Kovacs would occasionally see my dad puttering around in a corner of the studio, prepping for his show, and call him over to talk on air about what he was doing.Larry Auerbach in Studio 56
One of the best known show from Studio 56 was ‘The Guiding Light’ which ran from 6/30/52-9/18/09. When the Broadcast Center opened, it moved to Studio 45 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyNkmvVIG3U
