NBC Studio 8H, May 1951

NBC Studio 8G was converted in 1948, but as NBC Radio’s largest studio, 8H was not converted till 1950. This image is from the May 1951 edition of Popular Science and had just changed it’s title from “America’s largest radio studio” to “America’s largest television studio”. Television was not new to 8H though…from 1947 and into 1948, ‘The Voice Of Firestone’ musical program was done from here with cameras controlled from 8G. Below in Comments is a photo from one of the Firestone shows.

    Here’s 8H in 1948 as a radio studio with cameras from 8G brought in to televise ‘The Voice Of Firestone’. Notice how few lights are in use! Only the new Image Orthicon RCA TK10 and TK30s could make pictures with this level of light.
