The Walter Kerr Theatre

219 W 48th St, New York, 10036, United States

The Walter Kerr Theatre became an essential location for early television broadcasts: In 1939, CBS leased the theatre, followed by NBC in 1940. After briefly returning to live performances in 1942, the theatre was leased again, this time to the Blue Network, for the first major televised radio program, Radio Hall of Fame. In the late 1940s, ABC took over operations, reinforcing the theatre’s critical role in the development of broadcasting.
