Behind the Scenes of Reality TV in 1955

Long before our favorite reality TV series like American Idol and The Bachelor, Channel 7 launched "Success Story," a weekly series that was broadcast Live from Bay Area factories and other local businesses. It focused on American ingenuity and the story behind innovative products and successful ideas. abc7ne.ws/2VGcD8u
Over the past 70 years, ABC7 has shared so many memorable moments with the San Francisco Bay Area. We’re proud to be an integral part of television history and of this amazing place we’re lucky enough to call home. From our start as the first antenna on the old Sutro Tower, to changing the game of local news with community-based reporting, we’ve always had an eye on Building a Better Bay Area.
