History

Television City opened on November 15, 1952. It was built on the site of a former football field and race track, Gilmore Stadium

Gilmore Field is the name of a former minor league baseball park that served as home to the Hollywood Stars of the Pacific Coast League from 1939-1957 when they, along with their intra-city rivals, the Los Angeles Angels , were displaced by the transplanted Los Angeles Dodgers of the National League....
 and the Pan Pacific Auditorium. The stadiums and auditorium were built on what was once unincorporated known as Gilmore Island, and the fortune that led to their construction had origins similar to a television sitcom plot.

Arthur Fremont Gilmore brought his family to Los Angeles from Illinois in 1874, started a dairy business and eventually made enough money to buy part of Rancho La Brea

 of Los Angeles. The studio facility was built to handle the larger production needs for the network, most of which took place at the rather cramped Columbia Square.

The building initially held four soundstages (Studios 31, 33, 41 and 43), but a renovation in the late 1980s added two new soundstages plus additional office space and technical facilities such as editing rooms and storage. Another renovation added two studios in what had been rehearsal halls in the original building.

Studio 43 was equipped with RCA TK-40A color cameras in 1954, with cables allowing any of the original four studios to use those cameras. In 1956, Studio 41 was equipped with RCA TK-41s. However, CBS color broadcasts decreased in frequency until the following decade, when the 1964 production of Rogers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella" was recorded. CBS programs were generally in black-and-white until Norelco PC-60s were installed starting in 1964.
