On this, a Sunday afternoon in 1951, Edward R. Murrow and Fred Friendly 
                                                 
launched one of the most highly-praised TV productions in history. See It Now debuted on CBS. On that first program, which evolved out of Murrow's radio series Hear It Now, we saw a live camera shot of the Atlantic Ocean, followed by a live shot of the Pacific, then Murrow said, "We are impressed by a medium through which a man sitting in his living room has been able to look at two oceans at once."  In April of 1952, See It Now moved into an evening time slot. ----Puget Sound Radio
