Founded on the belief that television and radio have been major contributors to our cultural history, the Museum of Television and Radio is a non profit organization that offers a wide variety of opportunities to study the impact that radio and television have had on our society. From Wednesday through Sunday, it offers an extensive library of television and radio broadcasts, two theaters, a listening room, as well as several special exhibitions and seminars that are open to the public.
Inside the Stanley E. Hubbard library, you can select and view a large range of historical televison broadcasts. It's collection consists of everything from news events to comedy specials. This includes hard to find or rarely seen moments. The museum also continually runs a variety of programs from its collection in its two theaters.
The Ahmanson Radio Listening Room gives you the opportunity to experience the listening collection with five preprogrammed broadcasts that change periodically. It also holds the Ralph Guild Radio studio where stations from across the country will go to broadcast their show while in Los Angeles.
Special exhibitions also take place inside the Bell Gallery. The gallery features an ongoing series of selected specific moments in television history showcased with video clips, design sketches, original props and costumes. Each exhibit runs for a limited time. Check with the museum for upcoming exhibits.
The museum is best known for the large amount of unique seminars which it holds each season. Designed to be educational and entertaining, the museum often reunites the creative forces behind landmark programs and broadcasts to openly and very candidly discuss the signfigance of their work. In the past, the museum has been host to seminars for shows as varied as the Ben Stiller Show, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and NYPD Blue.
