Studio 6-A, originally constructed as a radio studio, was completely renovated as a black-and-white TV facility last year, and began operation Sept. 11, 1961. Its decor and technical facilities were designed to be readily adaptable for color television. Other NBC-TV color studios in New York City are the Colonial Theater, Brooklyn 1 and Brooklyn 2, and studios 6-B and 3-K in the RCA Building. The Peacock Theatre, which earned industry fame under its former name - Studio 8-H - is also in the RCA Building, and is being completely renovated for color programs in the Fall.
