In 1977, CBS opted for an extravagant nine-and-a-half-hour, week-long series of specials called “CBS: On The Air - A Celebration of 50 Years” - Hosted by Walter Cronkite and Mary Tyler Moore. Running for an astounding nine-and-a-half-hours over the course of one week, CBS attempted to bring together as many of its stars as possible, opening with a two-hour installment airing from 9-11PM. Titled “The Night of 100 Stars,” it opened with a massive gathering of CBS stars, between 115 and 125 of them.*
* This is not the anniversary special in its entirety. It is missing the Tuesday and Sunday opens and a few more segments.
