The famous Emmy Award winning, Studio One television series shown from 1948 to 1958 by CBS and was a continuation of the successful radio series of the same name. Studio One is an American radio–television anthology drama series, created in 1947 by Canadian director Fletcher Markle, who came to CBS from the CBC.
In 1948, Markle made a leap from radio to television.

It was telecast in black-and-white only.
