No one has a firm date on when VTC went into business, but their first home was actually in the Century Theater. NBC had leased the Century from '54 till '58 and did 'Caesar's Hour' with Sid Caesar (1954–1957) and 'Treasure Hunt' from there. Sometime after '58, Video Tape Center moved in and stayed till the building was torn down in '61, necessitating the move to 67th Street.</span></div>
