Document Summary

The studio is the large space where the set for a tv program is located. For a live news program, the anchors deliver the newscast from an anchor desk to the viewers. The studio will sometimes contain smaller sub-sets that are used in conjunction with the newscast, such as a weather center/desk or a dedicated interview space. The control room is often nearby, attached to the studio by a common wall with or without windows. It might also be removed, with some distance between, but either or, the control room controls the operations of the studio. It"s important to note that some control rooms can control more than one studio. Post-production refers to the space in the tv station where video-editing activited are conducted. Traditional editing suites (small rooms) may be available. Almost all stations have moved to video file servers (server-based systems), so editing can occur just about anywhere with access to the server.
