When and how was Studio 3K created?

• A. In 1935, the former 3H was converted into television for experimental broadcasts
• B. In 1955, it was built as NBC's main color studio
• C. In 1949, it became the home of Howdy Doody
• D. In 1941, it hosted the first TV commercials for NBC

Answer: (A)

Early television studios often came into being by repurposing existing spaces as networks explored how TV would work. The best choice reflects that approach: Studio 3K was created in 1935 by converting the former 3H into a television space for experimental broadcasts. This fits the era when NBC and others were testing TV techniques, cameras, and broadcasts, so turning an existing studio into a dedicated TV space made sense for hands-on experimentation and development. The other dates describe different NBC studio roles or programs rather than the creation of Studio 3K itself—later expansion in color broadcasting, a program like Howdy Doody, or early TV commercials in a different context.
