Ed Sullivan Theater Rumor

[Tom9589]

There was a rumor about the Ed Sullivan Theater having problems with color TV productions.

Rumor has it that there is a huge motor-generator for the NY subway system that is located either adjacent or under the theater. Due to the fact that the motor-generator could not be re-located elsewhere, the TV studio had to make concessions. In particular, there were certain areas where the cameras could not go due to the magnetic fields from the motor-generator.

Any truth to this rumor?
