CBS Is There

CBS IS THERE, later renamed YOU ARE THERE, was a completely different kind of program. CBS broke new ground when they sent 'reporters' and 'correspondents' into dramatized re-enactments of important historical events. There these CBS people reported on the action as it happened. They interviewed the main players along with fast, breath-taking news taking the radio audience into the eye of the storm. The series ran: July 7, 1947 to August 18, 1947 (7 shows); November 6, 1947 special edition (1 show); December 7, 1947 to April 25, 1948 (20 shows); May 2, 1948 to June 12, 1949 (52 shows); October 30, 1949 to July 9, 1950 (10 shows). Total of 90 shows. There were 27 CBS Is There programs, 1 special show and 62 You Are There.
