<P> Most episodes of the original nighttime run of the series were preserved on black - and - white kinescope, along with a few color videotape episodes . Only a handful of shows remain from the CBS daytime series' first three years because of the then - common practice of wiping videotapes and reusing them due to tight storage space and even tighter budgets . Many daytime episodes (including some in color) from 1966 to 1968 exist, including the color finale . </P> <P> Reruns of the black - and - white kinescopes were running on the Buzzr channel as of late April 2016 . </P> <P> To Tell the Truth returned only a year later, in autumn of 1969, in first - run syndication . During the early years of its run, the syndicated Truth became a highly rated component of stations's early - evening schedules after the Federal Communications Commission imposed the Prime Time Access Rule in 1971, opening up at least a half hour (a full hour, usually, on Eastern Time Zone stations) to fill with non-network fare between either the local or network evening newscast and the start of the network's prime - time schedule for the evening . Other stations found success running the program in place of a daytime network game or soap opera, or in the afternoon "fringe" time period between the end of network daytime programming at 4: 30 / 3: 30 Central and the evening newscasts . This edition of the show was again based at the New York CBS - TV Studio 50 until 1971, when it moved to NBC Studio 6 - A in Rockefeller Center . </P> <P> Each wrong vote in this version was worth $50 to the challengers; "complete stumps" of the entire panel won the challengers a total of $500 . There were two "games" per episode, and there was often a live demonstration or video to illustrate the central character's story after many of the games . </P>

Where do they film to tell the truth
