Ultra Rare! CBS Studio 50 Spec Sheets…1960
In order to rent studio space to producers, networks have detailed information on their properties to pass along. From the 1960 CBS property book, this is the 3 page description of Studio 50, which of course is now The Ed Sullivan Theater and Letteman’s home. Looking at this diagram drawn to scale, it is amazing how little backstage room there is on the left side (stage right). For those of you like me, who wondered…the center camera ramp is 19 feet, 8 inches long and 8′ and 2″ wide. I’ll post the best high shot of the stage I have in the Comment section below to help with the visual.
