COVID-19 INFORMATION
Current Operations
In-studio productions and editing bay reservations are available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As always, reservations are available on a “first come, first served” basis. Studio productions are limited to what we call “Hot Set Productions”. A standard set, which will be sanitized between each use, with locked-down cameras can be used with one or two people on set. Host and guest must remain at least six feet apart while filming. Up to two crew members will be allowed in the control room.
We will continue virtual productions when requested and all training will continue to be conducted online. Reservations for curbside checkout of field production equipment will also continue for pick-ups and drop-offs on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Of course, safety is our top priority. All visitors to the studio must continue to adhere to public health safety measures. Temperature checks will be conducted when entering the facility. Masks must be worn at all times when not on set. We have provided floor markings to ensure physical distancing can be maintained throughout your visit. We also encourage visitors to utilize the provided sanitizing stations and sink frequently to keep hands and surfaces clean.
Thank you for your continued support. We’ll see you at the studio!
