Studio A (DIY)

Studio A (a.k.a “Mini Broadcast Studio) is a compact yet versatile multimedia studio, often referred to as the DIY studio. Equipped with a switcher and a three-camera setup, it empowers students to take full control of their productions. In this space, students act as the producer, camera operator, and host— all at once, fostering hands-on learning and creativity. Whether for curricular or non-curricular projects, Studio A offers a dynamic alternative to a traditional, heavily-staffed television studio.
