I have a feeling it is The Sky At Night, an astronomy show hosted by Sir Patrick Moor. It is at least the longest running show on the BBC. The first show aired in 1957 featuring the commet Arend-Roland. A close second probably goes to Coronation Street, a British soap opera. It first aired in 1960, and is now on 4 days a week. Does anyone have any older ones? Oct 17 04, 3:47 PM

The world's longest running TV drama is Procter & Gamble Productions' Guiding Light (USA), which was first aired on CBS on June 30, 1952, and is currently aired each weekday. http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=47863 Oct 17 04, 4:18 PM

Meet the Press (USA) has been around awhile. "Meet the Press" debuted as a radio program in 1945 and progressed to television two years later ... www.denverradio.net/newforum/viewthread.php?tid=388 Jim Farley was the very first guest when MEET THE PRESS debuted on television November 7, 1947. msnbc.com/news/990963.asp Oct 18 04, 11:39 AM
