You Are There is an American historical educational radio and television series that aired on CBS Radio and CBS Television from 1947 to 1957. Created by Goodman Ace, the show combined history with modern technology, transporting a network newsroom back in time to report on significant historical events. The series featured the reporting talents of John Charles Daly, Don Hollenbeck, and Richard C. Hottelet, who had been wartime correspondents during World War II.

Originally titled "CBS Is There," the show changed its name to "You Are There" beginning with its 24th episode. A total of 90 episodes were broadcast, though only 75 episodes are known to exist in recorded form. The program presented historic events as if they were unfolding live, complete with interviews, sound effects, and in-character dialogue. This approach made history more engaging and accessible to radio listeners by presenting it through a familiar format.
