The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences will only induct up to seven people or programs into their Hall of Fame each year. Do you know how many were honored the first year, and if so, who were they?

Lucille Ball, Milton Berle, Paddy Chayefsky, Norman Lear, Edward R. Murrow,
William S. Paley, David Sarnoff

Good answer, trixkala.

Apparently, they will induct more than 7 if some of the inductees are part of a team. Examples are George Burns and Gracie Allen, Chet Huntley & David Brinkley, Robert MacNeil & Jim Lehrer, and Tim Conway & Harvey Korman.
