Members SoapDope Posted October 3, 2017 Members Share Posted October 3, 2017 That's interesting. Bill Bell said in an interview that he wished he had bought Television City when they first started doing Y&R in 1973. He said at that time there wasn't a whole lot there in way of construction and could have gotten at a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted October 4, 2017 Members Share Posted October 4, 2017 CBS is landlord to Y&R and B&B, so they'll either switch landlords by a sale to another company that keeps the television operation or they'll find a new studio. Y&R could have the option to move to Sony Studios in Culver City. There's also CBS Studio Center at Radford in Studio City. There's probably a lot of cast members who would prefer to work out of Radford since they live in the Valley. Conversely, Brad Bell would probably hate it driving from Bel-Air. That said, CBS Television City is an iconic space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted October 4, 2017 Members Share Posted October 4, 2017 What would have been diffrent if he baught it? How much control of CBS wouldve he had? Would've he still needed a distrabuter like Columbia/Sony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted October 4, 2017 Members Share Posted October 4, 2017 I don't know. He stated that in his Archive Of American Television interview he wish he had purchased it in the early 70's. I know a lot of shows were being taped there even then like Y&R, Carol Burnett, Price Is Right, Tattletales, Match Game, Jokers Wild, My Three Sons etc...

Members DaytimeFan Posted October 4, 2017 Members Share Posted October 4, 2017 It would not have made a lick of difference. CBS has say because it's the network the show is sold to. Sony has a say because it produces the show. It could be taped on Venus and it wouldn't make a difference. All it would have done is made Bill Bell even richer than he already was when he died. The Bells are richer than Croesus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted October 5, 2017 Members Share Posted October 5, 2017 Instead of writing 50 words you could've just said, "I don't know." So, thanks, for wasting my time. I was hoping by the end there would've at lease something of substance. I wonder if he would've wound up buying the distributor though. THAT is where things would've been different.

Members SoapDope Posted October 5, 2017 Members Share Posted October 5, 2017 It's actually 44. I promise to try to make my posts have more substance, if you promise to stop fighting against mental health. I like your new profile pic. It's so much classier than the shirtless one of you showing your pubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted September 22, 2018 Members Share Posted September 22, 2018 Interesting article on how the studio buildings themselves are likely to be saved by being designated a heritage site, while the land around it is likely set for redevelopment. It likely doesn't mean much for the shows that film there. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-cbs-television-city-20180615-story.html# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
