EspañolTHE PALEY CENTER FOR MEDIA
(Redirected from Museum of Television and Radio)
'The Paley Center for Media' (formerly 'The Museum of Television & Radio' ('MTR'), formerly 'The Museum of Broadcasting'), founded in 1975 by William S. Paley, is a cultural institution dedicated to the discussion of the cultural, creative, and social significance of television, radio, and emerging platforms for the professional community and media-interested public. Formerly known as The Museum of Television & Radio and, originally, the Museum of Broadcasting, it was renamed on June 5, 2007 to encompass emerging broadcasting technologies such as the Internet, mobile video and podcasting, as well as to expand its role as a neutral setting where media professionals can engage in discussion and debate about the evolving media landscape. [1]
With an ever-growing collection of programs and advertising broadcast from radio and television, the Paley Center has two branches; in New York City and Los Angeles. The New York City branch is in the heart of Midtown Manhattan at 25 West 52nd Street between 5th and 6th Avenues. The Los Angeles branch is located at 465 Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills, near the world-famous Rodeo Drive.
The Paley Center for Media is committed to the idea that many television and radio programs were works of art to be preserved for posterity's sake. Instead of collecting artifacts and memorabilia, the Paley Center comprises mostly screening rooms, including two full-sized theaters. More than 120,000 television shows, commercials and radio programs are available in the Paley Center's library, and during each visit, viewers can select and watch up to four television shows at an individual console. Some television programs date back to 1948, with radio programs dating back to the 1920s. The viewing copies of television programs are Hi-8mm video tape dubs and the originals are kept in a vault outside of New York City, and the collection is being digitized. [2]
Seminars and interviews with industry luminaries are conducted frequently, all of which are recorded and available for viewing on individual consoles. Past seminar participants have included Dennis Potter, Bob Hope, Jack Paar, Roy Huggins, Lucille Ball, James Garner, Dick Cavett and Al Franken. Also available for viewing are seminars featuring the cast and production crew from many television shows. The Paley Center has acquired many lost episodes of classic television shows and has produced documentary features about the history and impact of television and radio.
The Paley Center for Media obtains the television and radio shows via donations by people who own copies of individual shows. It agrees not to sell the material or permit it to leave its premises.
