NBC radio network programming was carried on [[KFI]] in Los Angeles.


The architect for the distinctive [[Streamline Moderne]] building at Sunset and Vine was [[John C. Austin]].<ref>{{cite book| url=https://archive.org/details/internationaldir0008unse/page/40/mode/2up?q=%22austin+company%22| volume=8| page=41| year=1994| editor-last=Kepos| editor-first=Paula| title=International Directory of Company Histories| chapter=The Austin Company| publisher=St. James Press| location=Detroit| isbn=978-1-5586-2323-1| access-date=24 June 2022}}</ref>
The West Coast Radio City opened in 1938 and served as headquarters to the [[NBC]] Radio Networks' West Coast operations. It served as a replacement for NBC's radio broadcast center in San Francisco, which had been around since the network's formation in 1927. Since NBC never owned a radio station in Los Angeles, the network's West Coast programming originated from its San Francisco station (KPO-AM, which later became KNBC-AM, and is now [[KNBR]]).


In January 1949, NBC launched its newest television station for Los Angeles, KNBH (Channel 4; now [[KNBC]]) from Radio City; the radio studios were later equipped for live television broadcasting in the transition phase from radio broadcasting. However, as television production was increasing for NBC, the network and its then-parent the [[Radio Corporation of America]], decided to build a television studio, nicknamed NBC Color City, that would be exclusively equipped for color television broadcasting. For many of the same reasons why CBS eventually built [[Television City]] in the early 1950s to replace its [[CBS Columbia Square|Columbia Square]], the television facilities at Radio City gradually became too small for NBC to produce its television broadcasts.

RCA's decision to expand television studio facilities required moving to the real estate market in the San Fernando Valley-Burbank area, with land purchased from Jack Warner. The newly christened NBC Color City Studios opened in March 1955, as the first television studio designed specially for the origination of [[color television]] broadcasting, although their rivals, [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] and [[CBS]] would gradually add color broadcasting to their studio facilities in the later years.


This studio hosted production of many of the best-remembered game and variety shows from the 1950s through the 1990s, including ''[[Hollywood Squares]]'' from 1966 to 1980, ''[[Wheel of Fortune (American game show)|Wheel of Fortune]]'' from 1975 to 1989, ''[[Rowan and Martin's Laugh-in]]'' from 1968 to 1973, and ''[[The Tonight Show]]'' beginning in 1972. The latter two shows would frequently reference their home in "Beautiful Downtown Burbank" though ''Tonight'' would invariably begin each episode with the technically incorrect announcement, "From Hollywood..." During the late 1960s, [[The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson|Carson's ''Tonight Show'']] would move for periods to Burbank, using studio 1. After the permanent move to Burbank in 1972, [[Bob Hope]]'s shows taped in studio 1, with ''The Tonight Show'' taking a hiatus while Hope produced his specials. In 1971, President [[Richard Nixon]] announced [[Henry Kissinger]]'s secret negotiations with [[Zhou Enlai]] and his [[1972 visit by Richard Nixon to China|impending visit to China]] from the studio.<ref>{{cite book| last=Graff| first=Garrett M.| year=2022| title=Watergate: A New History| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jtoYEAAAQBAJ&q=kissinger| edition=1st| location=New York| publisher=Avid Reader Press| page=78| isbn=978-1-9821-3918-6| access-date=24 June 2022}}</ref>

[[File:NBC Studios - Studio 11 - The Jay Leno Show set 06.jpg|thumb|Studio 11, formerly the home of ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'' and ''The Jay Leno Show'']]
Although the first phase of this project was completed in September 1952 and a few black-and-white programs were broadcast from there for two and a half years, the facility was officially dedicated on March 27, 1955. It was known back then as '''NBC Color City''', since the recently completed studio at the complex is said to be the first TV studio equipped exclusively for "color broadcasting". The Administration Building, erected first, was divided from the studio stages by a mid-way studio main drive access, which separated the first two color stages 1 and 2 from the main office facility. An underground tunnel, under the entrance driveway, connected the administration building with the stage's entrance Reception Page Desk and guest foyer. Rehearsal halls, drapery, construction-mill, scenic paint frames with basement floor wells, electric, transportation, costume sewing shop, and production (art and technical) support offices comprised the original completed studio. Further expansion, Studios 3 and 4, engineering, editing facilities and additional offices completed the finished studio in 1955. Studio 1 originally had a bowling alley built in the basement under the stage floor for [[Danny Kaye]]. Dressing rooms, make-up and hair, and a costume room were shared with Studio 3 on the main stage [1 and 3] corridor stage level; upstairs, on the second floor, a Director-Technical Control monitor booth-room overlooking each stage; with sound, camera-engineering and lighting-dimmer board control support rooms, client viewing room, for each studio comprised the sound stages' second floor. Additional dressing rooms, rehearsal rooms, music storage file rooms were located in the basement, and above the studio street audience foyer holding reception areas. Both stages had raked permanent audience seating for 350 spectators. Due to wear, the Studio 3 permanent audience area was removed in 1959 to expanding the studio's footprint. Planning Studio 2 and 4, movable audience bleachers were utilized maintaining an expansive studio stage area with a full 360 degree sharks tooth and bleached muslin cyclorama. Studio 4 had a swimming pool pit, built specially for Esther Williams and aquatic ballet, with camera port-hole pit windows located around the perimeter of the stage. The flooring over the water tank proved unreliable for heavy camera crane dolly and normal television cameras tracking and pan movements and the tank was removed in 1959. Studio 2 and 4 were primarily reserved for color specials, later for music and variety series television productions such as [[Milton Berle]], [[Jerry Lewis]], [[Dean Martin]], [[Eddie Fisher (singer)|Eddie Fisher]], [[Dinah Shore]], [[Andy Williams]], ''[[Wheel of Fortune (U.S. game show)|Wheel of Fortune]]'', [[Bing Crosby]], [[Frank Sinatra]], [[Mitzi Gaynor]], Danny Kaye, ''[[Fun Factory (TV series)|Fun Factory]]'', [[Days of Our Lives]], [[Lux Video Theatre]], [[Bright Promise]], [[Return to Peyton Place (TV series)|Return to Peyton Place]] and others.
''[[The Tonight Show]]'' would stay in Burbank through [[Johnny Carson]]'s retirement, [[The Tonight Show with Jay Leno|Jay Leno's ascendency]] to host until [[2010 Tonight Show conflict|the end of his first run]] in 2009, when it moved to an all-digital studio on the Universal lot in 2009 for the short-lived ''[[The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien]]''. The show moved back to the Burbank Studios when Leno returned as host of ''The Tonight Show'' on March 1, 2010. The show used studio 11 until Leno stepped down as host on February 6, 2014. After that, ''The Tonight Show'' moved back to [[New York City]]'s [[GE Building|Rockefeller Center]] when [[Jimmy Fallon]] replaced Leno as host, marking the end of the 42-year era in which the show had recorded in Southern California.<ref name="npr">{{cite news| last=Memmott| first=Mark| url=https://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/04/03/176139405/its-set-jimmy-fallon-to-replace-jay-leno-on-tonight-show-in-spring-2014| title=It's Set: Jimmy Fallon To Replace Jay Leno On 'Tonight Show' In Spring 2014| date=3 April 2013| work=Must Reads| access-date=2013-08-22| publisher=[[NPR]]}}</ref>


===NBC's move to Universal City===
A next full phase of the project was finished in November 1962, which accommodated the move of the network's Los Angeles [Hollywood, Sunset and Vine] station, on Channel 4, from Hollywood to Burbank. Channel 4 changed its call letters from KRCA to KNBC upon the move. The original RCA-NBC TV-Radio Hollywood studio, located one block West of the CBS TV/Radio Square Studios, on Sunset Boulevard at the corner of Vine Street, was at the center of the radio-television entertainment foot-print. After selling the original RCA Hollywood (Sunset and Vine) studios, RCA-NBC purchased property, one block west, to maintain its RCA-NBC Broadcasting License for its FCA license to remain intact. This facility's primary purpose was as recording studios and offices. Years later, the broadcasting license was exchanged for the NBC-Burbank location.
In October 2007, NBC announced plans to move most of its operations from Burbank to a new complex across the street from [[Universal Studios Lot|Universal Studios]] in [[Universal City, California|Universal City]].<ref name="variety">{{cite news| title=NBC moving from Burbank to L.A.| url=https://variety.com/2007/scene/markets-festivals/nbc-moving-from-burbank-to-l-a-1117973843/| last=Schneider| first=Michael| magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]| date=10 October 2007| access-date=2013-08-22}}</ref> It would retain offices at the Burbank site until May 2013, though the studio complex was sold to Catalina/Worthe Real Estate Group in 2008, with NBCUniversal leasing space until 2013. The former Technicolor building on the Universal lot now serves as the home of NBC's West Coast operations.<ref name="reporter">{{cite news| title=NBCUniversal to Build New Broadcast Center| url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/nbcuniversal-broadcast-center-278091| last=Miller| first=Daniel| date=4 January 2012| newspaper=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]| access-date=2013-08-22}}</ref> KNBC-TV and NBC News' Los Angeles bureau, along with [[Telemundo]] station [[KVEA]], began broadcasting from Universal Studios on February 2, 2014.


The Burbank facility was one of the few television-specific studio facilities in Hollywood that offered tours to the general public until they ceased July 6, 2012.<ref name="flint">{{cite news| title=The Morning Fix: Big web for 'Spider-Man' and 'Ted.'

In fact, this was the first major [[color television]] studio in the country to be built from the ground up. CBS followed by building color television studios at [[Beverly Boulevard]] and Fairfax Avenue, named [[CBS Television City]]. Home to NBC's west coast flagship station [[KNBC]], it also housed the network's West Coast broadcast operations, its Los Angeles news bureau, as well as the [[Telemundo]] network's local owned & operated station, [[KVEA]] (Channel 52). ABC TV was located at the former film lot located at Prospect Boulevard (extension of Hollywood Boulevard) and Talmadge Avenue. ABC leased stages on Vine Street for broadcasting facilities in El Capitan Theatre and Don Lee Radio Studio.


On March 13, 2014, [[Lawrence O'Donnell]] announced that his [[MSNBC]] broadcast that night would be the last nationally-televised program to be broadcast live from NBC's Burbank studio, with the move of the [[NBC News]] Los Angeles bureau to Universal City.
The Warner Brothers and Columbia Pictures Studios merged as ''The Burbank Studios'' during the late 1970s and 1980s. Sony purchased Columbia Pictures, which previously purchased MGM Film Studio in Culver City and consolidated its production facilities from Burbank and elsewhere to Culver City in the 1990s. ''The Burbank Studio'' moniker was dropped and reverted to the studio's original Warner Brothers name. [[The Walt Disney Company]], including rival network [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], is located nearby in the same Burbank neighborhood. At one time, the NBC Burbank property was part of the Warner Brothers Studio's exterior backlot. It was used infrequently due to the difficulty of erecting exterior building scenery as the site was an old riverbed wash. This created a wind tunnel and sets were frequently washed-out and toppled during storms. RCA purchased the studio site from Warner Brothers in 1949.


===After NBC===
This studio hosted production of many of the best-remembered game and variety shows from the 1950s through the 1990s, including ''The Tonight Show'' beginning in 1972. In that year, Johnny Carson moved the show to California from New York where it remained until 2009 when Jay Leno handed hosting duties to Conan O'Brien. During the late 1960s, the Carson Tonight Show would move for periods to Burbank, using the ''Bob Hope Stage 3'' to video-tape a live feed to the East Coast. After the permanent move to Burbank, Bob Hope's show taped on Stage 3, with ''The Tonight Show'' taking a hiatus while Hope produced his specials.
On October 2, 2017, Studio 1 became the official home of [[Blizzard Arena Los Angeles]] and the [[Overwatch League]], marking the Burbank Studios' first [[esports]] broadcast. The [[2018 Overwatch League season|inaugural season]] began on January 10, 2018, in which over 437,000 viewers tuned in live on opening night via [[Twitch (service)|Twitch]] and [[MLG.tv]] streaming platforms.<ref name="espn 2018 Jan 17">{{cite news| title=Overwatch League outperforms Thursday Night Football livestream on opening day| date=17 Jan 2018| url=https://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/22132542/overwatch-league-outperforms-thursday-night-football-livestream-opening-day| last=Wolf| first=Jacob| work=[[ESPN]]| access-date=2018-02-23}}</ref> The final match was played on September 15, 2019, before the league moved to a traditional sports [[Home (sports)|home-and-away format]].


On April 15, 2019, [[WarnerMedia]] (now [[Warner Bros. Discovery]]) announced that it would purchase The Burbank Studios. The transaction was completed in late 2023.<ref>{{cite press release| url=https://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/2019/04/15/warner-bros-will-be-long-term-and-sole-tenant-of-new-iconic-frank| title=North America Home| publisher=Warner Media |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190418145923/https://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/2019/04/15/warner-bros-will-be-long-term-and-sole-tenant-of-new-iconic-frank |archive-date=2019-04-18 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-warner-bros-burbank-studios-gehry-design-ranch-sale-20190415-story.html| title=Warner Bros.

The short-lived ''[[The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien]]'' taped a few miles away at [[Universal Studios]], studios which now house [[E!]]'s late night series ''[[Chelsea Lately]]''. Upon Leno's return as host of the ''The Tonight Show'' in 2010, it resumed taping in the Burbank facility, until his final departure in 2014.


On July 15, 2024, it was announced that Worthe Real Estate Group, QuadReal Property Group and Stockbridge Capital Group would reacquire The Burbank Studios as part of a years-long deal with Warner Bros. Discovery. The three companies paid $375 million for the 27-acre film studio campus in the Burbank Media District in Southern California, property records showed. Representatives announced the deal but did not disclose the value of the sale.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://commercialobserver.com/2024/07/la-warner-bros-discovery-worthe-burbank-studios/| title=Warner Bros.’ Iconic Burbank Studios Traded Back for $375M| work=[[Observer Media|Commercial Observer]]| first=Greg| last=Cornfield| date=July 15, 2024| access-date=2024-08-16}}</ref>

NBC Radio City Hollywood was located at Sunset Boulevard and Vine Street in Hollywood, 1937–1962; in 1968, it was replaced by Home Savings and Loan headquarters.[2][3][4]

The Burbank Studios (formerly known as NBC Studios) is a television production facility located in Burbank, California, United States. The studio is home to Days of Our Lives, Extra, the IHeartRadio Theater, and was formerly home to the Blizzard Arena (home of the Overwatch League).

History

[edit]

NBC Radio City Hollywood

[edit]

NBC Radio City Hollywood,[5][6] located at Sunset Boulevard and Vine Street in Hollywood, opened in 1938 and served as headquarters to the NBC Radio Networks' West Coast operations. It served as a replacement for NBC Radio City San Francisco, which had been in service since 1942. Since NBC never owned a radio station in Los Angeles, the network's West Coast programming originated from its San Francisco station (KPO, which later became KNBC, and is now KNBR). NBC radio network programming was carried on KFI in Los Angeles.

The architect for the distinctive Streamline Moderne building at Sunset and Vine was John C. Austin.[7]

In January 1949, NBC launched its newest television station for Los Angeles, KNBH (Channel 4; now KNBC) from Radio City; the radio studios were later equipped for live television broadcasting in the transition phase from radio broadcasting. However, as television production was increasing for NBC, the network and its then-parent the Radio Corporation of America, decided to build a television studio, nicknamed NBC Color City, that would be exclusively equipped for color television broadcasting. For many of the same reasons why CBS eventually built Television City in the early 1950s to replace its Columbia Square, the television facilities at Radio City gradually became too small for NBC to produce its television broadcasts.

NBC Color City Studios Burbank

[edit]
The Burbank Studios administrative building in 2015

RCA's decision to expand television studio facilities required moving to the real estate market in the San Fernando Valley-Burbank area, with land purchased from Jack Warner.[8] The newly-christened NBC Color City Studios opened in March 1955, as the first television studio designed specially for the origination of color television broadcasting, although their rivals, ABC and CBS would gradually add color broadcasting to their studio facilities in later years.

KNBC moved to a new building in 1962. In 1964, the Radio City Hollywood building was demolished, as NBC moved more of their West Coast television operations to the Burbank facility. The site is now occupied by a bank.

This studio hosted production of many of the best-remembered game and variety shows from the 1950s through the 1990s, including Hollywood Squares from 1966 to 1980, Wheel of Fortune from 1975 to 1989, Rowan and Martin's Laugh-in from 1968 to 1973, and The Tonight Show beginning in 1972. The latter two shows would frequently reference their home in "Beautiful Downtown Burbank" though Tonight would invariably begin each episode with the technically incorrect announcement, "From Hollywood..." During the late 1960s, Carson's Tonight Show would move for periods to Burbank, using studio 1. After the permanent move to Burbank in 1972, Bob Hope's shows taped in studio 1, with The Tonight Show taking a hiatus while Hope produced his specials. In 1971, President Richard Nixon announced Henry Kissinger's secret negotiations with Zhou Enlai and his impending visit to China from the studio.[9]

Studio 11, formerly the home of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Jay Leno Show

The Tonight Show would stay in Burbank through Johnny Carson's retirement, Jay Leno's ascendency to host until the end of his first run in 2009, when it moved to an all-digital studio on the Universal lot in 2009 for the short-lived The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. The show moved back to the Burbank Studios when Leno returned as host of The Tonight Show on March 1, 2010. The show used studio 11 until Leno stepped down as host on February 6, 2014. After that, The Tonight Show moved back to New York City's Rockefeller Center when Jimmy Fallon replaced Leno as host, marking the end of the 42-year era in which the show had recorded in Southern California.[10]

NBC's move to Universal City

[edit]

In October 2007, NBC announced plans to move most of its operations from Burbank to a new complex across the street from Universal Studios in Universal City.[11] It would retain offices at the Burbank site until May 2013, though the studio complex was sold to Catalina/Worthe Real Estate Group in 2008, with NBCUniversal leasing space until 2013. The former Technicolor building on the Universal lot now serves as the home of NBC's West Coast operations.[12] KNBC-TV and NBC News' Los Angeles bureau, along with Telemundo station KVEA, began broadcasting from Universal Studios on February 2, 2014.

The Burbank facility was one of the few television-specific studio facilities in Hollywood that offered tours to the general public until they ceased July 6, 2012.[13]

On March 13, 2014, Lawrence O'Donnell announced that his MSNBC broadcast that night would be the last nationally-televised program to be broadcast live from NBC's Burbank studio, with the move of the NBC News Los Angeles bureau to Universal City.

After NBC

[edit]

On October 2, 2017, Studio 1 became the official home of Blizzard Arena Los Angeles and the Overwatch League, marking the Burbank Studios' first esports broadcast. The inaugural season began on January 10, 2018, in which over 437,000 viewers tuned in live on opening night via Twitch and MLG.tv streaming platforms.[14] The final match was played on September 15, 2019, before the league moved to a traditional sports home-and-away format.

On April 15, 2019, WarnerMedia (now Warner Bros. Discovery) announced that it would purchase The Burbank Studios. The transaction was completed in late 2023.[15][16]

On July 15, 2024, it was announced that Worthe Real Estate Group, QuadReal Property Group and Stockbridge Capital Group would reacquire The Burbank Studios as part of a years-long deal with Warner Bros. Discovery. The three companies paid $375 million for the 27-acre film studio campus in the Burbank Media District in Southern California, property records showed. Representatives announced the deal but did not disclose the value of the sale.[17]
