M. broadcasting /acilities for KTXT-FM, the university student operated radio station, and following the established color trend, television facilities will include full color live and video tape television broadcasting, and facilities for the pre-recording of lectures for on and off campus use, The necessary administrative and functional facilities also will be part of the design considerations. Maximizing the effectiveness of faculty already employed by the university and area educational facilities will be the primary purpose of the lecture recording facilities, Lectures recorded here may be dispersed to the various departments on the university campus as well as the possibility of sharing these lectures with the area home owners via Channel 5 television. This method of correspondent education is already being utilized in more populus areas, KTXT-FM radio also sees educational programming in its future, becoming an additional source 2 of information and cultural events for the immediate surrounding area. These facilities will not only reach the university and surrounding area in a service rendering manner, but will provide invaluable experience to students interested in tele-communications, Staffed by students and the necessary professional technicians, both producing educational material, the facility will become both a means and an end to education. (I u p L < U CURRENT FACILITIES Radio The KTXT-FM radio studios are currently located in the speech building and are limited in the facilities available for use by students. The radio station moved into the speech building over a period of time, space by space until the present station development was reached. The spaces now include a newsroom, production manager's office, an engineer's work rooi one on-the-air studio, and two production studios. The newsroom houses two teletype machines, both connected to United Press International news wires, two typewriters for writing various news stories, two reel to reel and two cartridge type tape recorders for the production of news programs and a small control panel and microphone. The news room presently doubles as a news writing room and a production studio for the taping of news 'spots'. The on-the-air studio and the two production studios have basically the same equipment and each could be used for live broadcasting if the need arises, Each of the three studios have a control panel for the manipulating of the various pieces of equipment and microphones. Two turntables and storage for records are within easy reach of the operator. Taping equipment typically includes from one to two reel to reel tape recorders and at least two sources for cartridge tape play back and recording. The recording option is used primarily in the production studios. Sketches of the existing equipment with dimensions may be found in Appendix A, The production studios are used by student organizations for the production of announcements, and by tele-communications students for productions required by their classes, This causes the studios to be in great demand, Studios are used for approximately 30 productions per week and each production averages about 60 seconds of air time, however, the time required for production of the "spot" varies with the complexity required and the experience of the producer, Production time averages from one to two hours. This causes scheduling problems for the use of the production studios, Often times it prevents a 2 student from using the facility in their spare time between classes. Because of the small size of the production studios it is impossible to schedule any large or medium scale productions such as choral groups or group Instrumental productions. It is difficult to produce even the smallest program such as a two-man debate, Many of the tasks performed at the station by students can only be learned by participation and experience. The limited production-instructioi facilities makes it difficult for instructors to demonstrate the use of the various equipment controls used in production, Novice "disk jockeys" must be instructed, often by teaching assistants, while they are "on the air," simply because of the lack of adequate practice facilities. This causes the need for qualified instructors to be present while the station is in the hands of the lesser experienced students. Adequate practice and instructional facilities might allow the students to learn the use of turn tables, tape players, microphones, and other equipment within normal class hours, Many of the other "learning by doing" tasks, technical in nature, such as tape splicing, monitoring and editing tape are limited in the number of students that may be instructed at one time. There is currently no other space or equipment that can be used for this type of instruction. KTXT-FM services few people outside the immediate area of the campus. A diagram of the maximum radius of reception with good reception equipment is shown on the following page. The campus dormitories are reached by way of a carrier current. In other words, the dormitories are linked to the station by means of a transmission cable rather than the usual broadcasting method, The KTXT-FM transmitter is located at the existing KTXT television station, and is so located that it may also use the existing tower for its broadcast antenna, The transmitter is operated and utilized remotely from the speech building, however, an engineer must be on duty at the transmitter at all times, as required by F. C. C. regulations. The separation of the studios and transmitter seems to have caused few operational problems and allows the present studios to be located conveniently to pedestrian traffic from the interior of the campus. ítj^ -W«SN£V>»J ;V^J^5«»SSíS«S^^XS^«VV^^C«SS^V*i^>m^«««^ x> îíí'í^XXVW-'^iWIvx'VVWw^ Television The KTXT television studio and transmitter are presently located in a converted livestock pavilion on the west edge of the Texas Tech University campus, Administrative offices are in the remodeled living quarters above the studio. The television facilities moved into the building in 1962 and at that time added a mechanical room, In 1966 a transmitter room was added to the existing structure, These additions were made because of the lack of expansion space. The station has grown sufficiently that again there is no available space for expansion and this lack of ability for expansion, prevents the improvement and upgrading of equipment to accommodate color production and broadcast. The present station consists of one studio, one control room, one transmitter/engineer work room, and four administrative offices. The studio must serve multiple functions because it is the only one in the station. Any video production must be scheduled for the studio as well as any live broadcasting done by KTXT-TV. Every Monday and Wednesday afternoon the tele-communications department uses the studio and control room for educational instruction to its students. Any production by the department must be scheduled during this time. Existing studio facilities create scheduling problems because only one studio must serve in so many capacities. This scheduling problem should increase in magnitude as the enrollment in tele-communications increases to a projected 250 students in 1980. The studio itself imposes restrictions in flexibility and convenience The small size of the studio does not allow sets and properties used very often to remain in the studio while other productions are in progress. Size inadequacy prohibits large productions in which larger sets and larger numbers of people would appear. Height, also very important in the television studio, is a problem in the existing facilities. Having to fit the studio into a building that was not intended for this use, the headroom, or distance from the floor to the lighting grid, is inadequate and does not allow taller sets, or their movement in and out of the studio. Taller sets are needed because the field of vision through the standard studio camera, not only increases in width but in height as the camera is moved away from the subject. Greater height is needed for ease in maneuvering microphone booms in the studio without contacting the lighting grid or the suspended studio lighting fixtures. A maximum of five technicians will be in the studio at any given time during a production. These men are two cameramen, one prop man, if a boom microphone is used one man must be present for its operation, and one floor director is also present. Equipment needed in the studio includes a lighting grid near the ceiling from which the studio lighting fixtures are suspended for flexibility in lighting effects. Two television cameras and the necessary microphones required for any specific production. The control room, adjacent to and usually connected with the studio, is small, but efficient in that there is very little distance between functions and equipment that must be attended to by one person.

  • The Fan/Creator Alliance: Social Media, Audience Mandates, and the Rebalancing of Power in Studio–Showrunner Disputes
    Media Industries 5.2 (2018) The Fan/Creator Alliance: Social Media, Audience Mandates, and the Rebalancing of Power in Studio–Showrunner Disputes Annemarie Navar-Gill1 UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN amngill [AT] umich.edu Abstract Because companies, not writer-producers, are the legally protected “authors” of television shows, when production disputes between series creators and studio/ network suits arise, executives have every right to separate creators from their intellectual property creations. However, legally disempowered series creators can leverage an audience mandate to gain the upper hand in production disputes. Examining two case studies where an audience mandate was involved in overturning a corporate production decision—Rob Thomas’s seven-year quest to make a Veronica Mars movie and Dan Harmon’s firing from and subsequent rehiring to his position as the showrunner of Community—this article explores how the social media ecosystem around television rebalances power in disputes between creators and the corporate entities that produce and distribute their work. Keywords: Audiences, Authorship, Management, Production, Social Media, Television Scripted television shows have always had writers. For the most part, however, until the post-network era, those writers were not “authors.” As Catherine Fisk and Miranda Banks have shown in their respective historical accounts of the WGA (Writers Guild of America), television writers have a long history of negotiating the terms of what “authorship” meant in the context of their work, but for most of the medium’s history, the cultural validation afforded to an “author” eluded them.2 This began to change, however, in the 1990s, when the term “showrunner” began to appear in television trade press.3 “Showrunner” is an unofficial title referring to the executive producer and head writer of a television series, who acts in effect as the show’s CEO, overseeing the program’s story development and having final authority in essentially all production decisions.

  • Television Studio Camera Replacement Submitted by WFSU-TV
    Television Studio Camera Replacement submitted by WFSU-TV PROJECT DESCRIPTION: WFSU Television proposes a project to replace its three standard definition studio cameras with new high definition camera systems. As the public television station serving Tallahassee and Panama City, WFSU-TV has operated for more than 50 years and provided quality local programs along with its PBS schedule. The addition of 4fsu, Comcast Cable channel 4, in the late 1990s created a new outlet for programming specifically geared to the Florida State University community as well as a wide range of learning/work opportunities for FSU students either as part of a class, as volunteers, or as paid OPS employees. WFSU-TV has an ongoing equipment replacement/upgrade plan. We were in the final stages of refurbishing our studios with the latest high definition television equipment when the federal grants program we used for major purchases was discontinued. Award of technology fee funding to WFSU-TV would allow the station to replace old equipment that is well past its effective service life, give students the opportunity to work with top-of-the-line equipment and facilities, and significantly improve its local/University programming production. WFSU-TV already has much of the equipment required for production of high definition television; cameras are the last big piece of the puzzle. We propose to match the requested award, $200,000, with funds we had been setting aside prior to the federal grant discontinuance. Because we were already well along in our replacement plan we have completed a fair amount of research into costs, and would be able to generate a competitive solicitation shortly after the award.

  • The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956"
    `1 | P a g e "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956" Volume 1 of 2 (Revised) 5 Rare Interior Photos of The International Theater added on page 64 By Bobby Ellerbee And Eyes Of A Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgement This is the first known chronological listing that details the conversions of NBC’s Radio City studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Also included in this exclusive presentation by and for Eyes Of A Generation, are the outside performance theaters and their conversion dates to NBC Television theaters. This compilation gives us the clearest and most concise guide yet to the production and technical operations of television’s early days and the network that pioneered so much of the new medium. As you will see, many shows were done as “remotes” in NBC radio studios with in-house mobile camera units, and predate the official conversion date which signifies the studio now has its own control room and stage lighting. Eyes Of A Generation would like to offer a huge thanks to the many past and present NBC people that helped, but most especially to Frank Merklein (NBC 1947-1961) Joel Spector (NBC 1965-2001), Dennis Degan (NBC 2003 to present), historian David Schwartz (GSN) and Gady Reinhold (CBS 1966 to present), for their first hand knowledge, photos and help.

Copyright: Elsevier B.V., http://www.elsevier.com/ Postprint available free at: Linköping University E-Press: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-11631 The studio interaction as a contextual resource for TV- production Mathias Broth Department of Culture & Communication, Linköping University, 581 83 Linköping, Sweden Abstract The present text focuses on the complex context of TV-production. The study shows how the dynamics of the studio interaction can be made relevant as a crucial contextual resource for the production crew filming and broadcasting the very same interaction. The mutual intelligibility of the crew’s indexical practices (e.g. talk, switches and camera movement) is shown to be grounded in a state of mutual attention to the unfolding studio interaction. Based on a number of recordings made in the control room during the live production of the French TV-show Rideau Rouge (January 20, 2004) the study describes in particular the crew’s orientations towards three dimensions of the endogenous organization of the studio interaction: turn construction, sequence organization, and activity constitution. The analysis confirms the general relevance of these orders of organization for talk-in-interaction, and shows how each can be used for the practical purposes of the production of the show. The study also reflects upon possible mediating effects when perceiving the studio interaction at a distance.
