New York Museum of Television and Radio
In 1975 the legendary chairman of CBS, William S. Paley, founded a museum for the purpose of collecting, preserving and presenting to the public, television and radio programs. Today that museum is known as the Museum of Television and Radio. It is operated as a not-for-profit institution on West 52nd Street in New York City. The museum houses more than 100,000 news, entertainment, documentary, public affairs and sports programs, which have been chosen for their historic, artistic or cultural significance.

Two large screening rooms present programs and special exhibits, while smaller screening areas are available for you to use in order to watch your choice of programs. With such a wealth of programming at your disposal, it is best to have a fairly good idea of what you want to see, as "channel surfing" is not an option at the museum. Throughout the year special exhibitions and seminars are held, documenting the history of the broadcast media, and their affects on society at large.
