WHEN TV WAS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL

You Are There - kids had to be quiet or no Disneyland after the show! | Thanks for the memories ...

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.
