TOUR GUIDE: We began making
commercial broadcasts in 1941.
:06:07
and in 1953...
:06:08
NBC made the first ever
color telecast by a network...
:06:12
during
"The Colgate Comedy Hour."
:06:13
Now we'll have a look
at the studio...
:06:15
where they produce
"The Today Show"...
:06:17
which NBC began
broadcasting in 1952.
:06:21
CHUCK: Excuse me, miss.
:06:23
Do you know where I could apply
for an NBC page?

TOUR GUIDE: Such as
"The Perry Como Show"...
:06:27
which you can tune into
on Saturdays at 7:30.
:06:30
"The Nat King Cole Show"...
:06:32
which you won't want to miss,
on Tuesdays at 8 P.M.
:06:35
And hold on one second.
:06:38
OK.
And my personal favorite...
:06:41
"The Lux Show"
starring Rosemary Clooney...
:06:44
CHUCK: ...which you can enjoy
every Thursday at 10:00.
:06:46
And of course,
"The Steve Allen Show"...
:06:48
which delights us
every Sunday at 8:00.
