The historical/education program You Are There originally started
as a CBS radio program and made a transition to television in 1953,
with Walter Cronkite as the regular host.
Reporters included veteran radio announcers Dick Joy and Harlow Wilcox. The first telecast took place on February 1, 1953, featuring
a re-enactment of the Hindenburg disaster. The final telecast took
place on October 13, 1957.
Originally telecast live, most of the later episodes were produced
on film.
Walter Leland Cronkite Jr. (November 4, 1916 – July 17, 2009)
