State-of-the-art broadcast facility goes live

Stanford's live radio and television broadcast studio has moved to a new facility at 691 Pampas Lane. The permanent, state-of-the-art studio was built to accommodate the increasing needs of Stanford faculty and staff.

The studio, run by Stanford Video, facilitates hundreds of live feeds a year, servicing primarily news broadcasters hoping to feature the university's scholars on their programs. Stanford experts have relied on the feed facilities to appear live on ABC's Nightline; PBS's The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer; CNN's Crossfire and NewsNight with Aaron Brown; and MSNBC's The News with Brian Williams. National Public Radio also has secured the university's feed capabilities to accommodate guests for All Things Considered, Talk of the Nation and Science Friday. International media companies such as the British and Canadian broadcasting corporations have used the facility as well.

Formerly under the auspices of Media Solutions, Stanford Video is now a division of University Communications. For more than a decade its staff has created a wide range of programs that extend Stanford's reach beyond the Farm. Stanford Video has captured lectures and events, produced national television shows and created custom programs for classrooms.

With the opening of a new studio, Stanford Video continues a tradition of offering broadcast quality production services to the campus community. For more information about Stanford Video, visit its website at http://stanfordvideo.stanford.edu or call 725-0687.
