____________________________________________

Good Morning America
Audience members who arrive by 6:30 am are sometimes admitted into the studios. Others can wave and say hello to Mom from behind the plate-glass windows. Airs 7-9 am Monday-Friday. W. 44th Street and Broadway (42nd Street-Times Square subway station), Manhattan, New York City.

MTV Studios
Though tours are given only to employees, clients and charitable groups, you can get a pretty good peek at the action just standing below their second-story, glass-fronted studios in Times Square. Apart from the NASDAQ stock ticker, the MTV studio building is one of the rare spectacles that prompts New Yorkers to actually look upward. Tickets to some show tapings are available, according to MTV producers, to people who appear to be between the ages of 16 and 28. Call ahead for information on tapings. 1515 Broadway (between 44th and 45th Streets; 42nd Street-Times Square subway station), Manhattan, New York City. Phone 212-258-8000. http://www.mtv.com.

NBC Studio Tours
It's a good idea to reserve well in advance of your visit: The tours fill quickly. No children under age 6 are allowed on the tour. US$17.50 adults. 30 Rockefeller Plaza (enter on 49th Street at the NBC Experience store; 47-50 Streets-Rockefeller Center subway station), Manhattan, New York City.
