Studio Production
WNED’s broadcast center is home to one of the largest studios in our three-state area (outside of NYC).  The 21 foot grid height and 6500 square feet of space make it possible to handle productions with large scale sets and/or studio audiences. It has been home to The Mark Russell Comedy Specials for PBS and the New York senatorial debate for MSNBC, as well as numerous rental clients for the production of satellite media tours, webcasts, infomercials and network news programs.  Our HD studio cameras are Sony HDC-1400s (5), including three with Autoscript teleprompter units. Contact us for more details, availability or to get a quote.
