Studio C (Television)

Studio C is a professional-quality on-camera broadcast studio for recording and livestreaming. Using several versatile sets operating out of a relatively small space, students produce news shows using a news desk set and 35-foot LED screens along with a more cozy interview nook. Annenberg TV News (ATVN), the award-winning live nightly newscast is produced out of this studio, as well as the weekly shows Sports SCene and InformaTV. Like the other studios, C can be used by anyone during open studio hours. Students must be trained and have a control room crew.
