Whether you are a pop fan looking for early and obscure footage of the Beatles or Elvis Presley, or a sports fan looking for old footage of the Olympic Games ceremonies, you can find them at the Paley Center for Media. History students can find extensive footage on World War II. In all, the library has over 50,000 programs.

The Paley Center for Media was the idea of William S. Paley, former head of CBS TV network. It opened in 1975 as the Museum of Broadcasting, at East 53rd Street. It was so popular that it had to relocate into its present home, a high-tech $50 million building that looks like an antique radio, in 1991, and was given its present name.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
