		I say:

	It outlived NBC-NY's tape room by about 8 years.  We had an area on  
the 2nd floor called "PVT" ("Production Video Tape", NBC LOVES  
acronyms).  There must have been 50 or 60 Beta and MII VTRs (all  
kinds) in several long rooms in that area along with 5 linear edit  
rooms.  When I first returned to NBC in 2003, that's where I worked.
	Here are two of the PVT rooms, photos shot in 2005:

	And my old linear edit room, Edit 3:

	The VTR machines behind the operator's console:

	The edit rooms are now reconfigured as HD 'release' studio control  
rooms.
