  The early '50s.
  With television drawing away audiences the studios came out with 
hifi sound, more colour movies, wide screen, special effects, etc to 
offer what that box in the corner couldn't.
  As in the past (with newspapers and radio) the studios didn't like 
this new  upstart and often had clauses in contracts actors couldn't 
appear on tv without written permission of the studio.  The newspaper 
dislike radio since people could get news free and not have to buy a 
paper.
  By around 1955 the old studio system was broken.  Instead of 
contact players actors were free lancing, etc.  (The studios were 
also upset with their actors appearing on radio in the early days 
since they (the studio) were not making any money by the actor 
appearing free over the air.  That changed around 1933-34.  Cecil D. 
DeMille and his Lux Radio Theatre paid stars big money to repeat 
their movie roles.  DeMille was pretty much a figure head and 
interviewer, but held a lot of clout in Hollywood.
