During the 1950s, Springfield ranked third in the U.S. for originating network television programs, behind New York and Hollywood. Four nationally broadcast television series originated from the city between 1955 and 1961: "Ozark Jubilee" and its spin-off, "Five Star Jubilee"; "Talent Varieties"; and "The Eddy Arnold Show". All were carried live by ABC except for "Five Star Jubilee" on NBC and were produced by Springfield's Crossroads TV Productions, owned by Ralph D. Foster. Many of the biggest names in country music frequently visited or lived in Springfield at the time. City officials estimated the programs meant about 2,000 weekly visitors and "over $1,000,000 in fresh income."
