BIG TOWN - 1950 - 1954
When Big Town moved to television, the program was telecast live, but in
1952 the production switched to film after the move from New York City
to Hollywood. The television series ran on CBS from 1950 through 1954,
continuing on NBC from 1955 through 1956. Repeat episodes aired on the
DuMont Network from 1952 to 1954 under the title City Assignment, while
Big Town was still showing first-run episodes on CBS. Reruns were also shown
under the titles Heart of the City, Headline, and Byline Steve Wilson.
The stories revolved around The Illustrated Press, the city's largest newspaper,
and the people who worked for it, most particularly managing editor Steve Wilson
(played by Patrick McVey from 1950-1954 and by Mark Stevens from 1954-1956).
Five different actresses had the role of reporter Lorelei Kilbourne.
