Of
all the buildings in Rockefeller center, 30 Rockefeller Plaza was
the largest and first built. It is the centerpiece and probably
best known building.The 70-story building still towers over its
modern competitors. Completed in 1934, 30 Rockefeller Plaza became
the RCA headquarters. General Electric's initials now brighten the
rooftop of the home of NBC.
30 Rockefeller Plaza is the most public of the buildings
and two of the most popular tourist attractions reside here. The
NBC Studio Tour, lets you see where popular shows like Saturday
Night Live, Late Night With Conan O'Brien and NBC News are taped.
NBC recently installed a storefront studio (above) on 49th Street
and Rockefeller Plaza where each weekday morning, Katie Couric &
Matt Lauer host the Today show. Many visitors come down and can
watch and maybe become a part of the program!
Beaumont's history with NBC
dates back more than two decades. Most recently we contributed to
the production of Studio 8H and the 3rd Floor Weather Room.
