Radio/Television Facilities

The Radio/Television studio and production facilities opened in 1999 as a centerpiece of the new $14 million dollar plus Communication Building. The facility was equipped with state-of-the-art analog and digital technology through a combination of public and private funding. A unique partnership with Panasonic Broadcast Systems along with a major donation from the Harris Corporation facilitated the outfitting of the facility. Financial contributions from Darden Restaurants, WOFL-TV, WFTV-TV, Cox Radio, and WESH-TV were also critical. The primary mission of the Radio/Television production facility is to support instruction and access to the facility is normally restricted to Radio/Television majors and faculty. Rental of the production facility for non-class use is accommodated on a limited basis subject to availability (those interested in rental should contact Jim McCully at jmccully@mail.ucf.edu). The facility is staffed by two full-time engineers, and a student-equipment check out staff. The senior engineer, Jim McCully, also serves as the facility manager.
