KNBC Leaves Only Leno At Burbank, But Only Till Thursday

Last night, KNBC did their last broadcast from what we used to call, the NBC Burbank Studios. Today, they are broadcasting from the NBC Universal complex. The last true NBC network show left there is ‘Tonight With Jay Leno’ and as we all know, that comes to an end this Thursday night. ‘Days Of Our Lives’ which airs on NBC is still being shot in Studios 2 and 4, but the production company leases that space. In Studio 1, Carson’s old home, ‘Access Hollywood’ is shot daily, but if you walked onto the set, you would not see the audience seats as the set is circular and it’s pretty dark in the outer boundaries. RIP Burbank!

After decades of being headquartered in Burbank, KNBC-TV moves to the Universal lot to a brand new complex. NBC4’s Conan Nolan shares a little history.

    End of an era. I’d love to tour that building especially since it was the home of the king of late night, Johnny Carson.

    The studios are now called The Burbank Studios. It will be yet another set of leaseable studios like Sunset-Gower and Hollywood Center.

    They didn’t include Kent Shocknek’s desk dive during the Whittier Narrows earthquake.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWAlkZVyTOg

    I only visited once to see my former Today Show producer, Ian Wenger in 2008. Even so, I’m going to miss that place. 🙁

    Took a technical tour in 1981 and watched a taping of Days of Our Lives. The backup line cut was still on quad. Carson’s studio was actually smaller than I thought.

    Fascinating!

    I worked there on Speak Up America many years ago.
    What’s going to happen to those studios now?

    I want Leno to move to another network like FOX and have a competing late night show which will continue to win the ratings!
