Zooms were a sports staple when available. Very hard to follow a home run with a turret. A studio drama did not need them as it was usually a small box studio and a turret did the work. Just make sure you did the turret swing quietly (squeeze/turn/release slowly) so the audience did not hear the clank as the new lens fell in to place. It was useful for programs like Today with a zoom in to Dave Garroway to save a closeup camera for another shot. Same for the early Tonight Show.
