Welcome to the official Omnibus channel on RU-vid - Featuring the landmark series broadcast live across the US from 1952 to 1961, the most distinguished series of Television’s Golden Age. Here we’ll look back at the award-winning collection of social, political, and cultural highlights from the mid-20th century, the most remarkable assembly of talent ever presented on American screens.
Omnibus showcased both established stars and rising talent, many of whom made their television debuts on the show, starring in classic drama, modern comedy, musical theater, ballet, jazz, popular music, folk music, and dance. Omnibus ranged even further with presentations on art and architecture, avant-garde literature, American and world history, criminal and constitutional law, international relations, sports, and science. Viewers tuned in for entertainment, but also for instruction and insight.
The series aired successively over the CBS, ABC, and NBC networks, consistently attracted 16 million viewers to each episode, and won more than 65 awards, including nine Emmys and two Peabody awards.
Make sure you subscribe to see how television could bring the arts, science, and letters to a mass audience for the first time.
