Broadway Television Theatre

Broadway Television Theatre featured a new adaptation of a famous play each week "with a brand-new performance every night of the week". Christopher Plummer, who starred in two episodes, described the performances as "like doing summer stock with cameras". ==Production==

The shows were performed live on WOR, and kinescope recordings were made for potential syndication to stations in other markets, with limited success. == Episodes ==
