KYW-TV enjoys peace and quiet at its new tapeless, file-based HD facility

摘要

On April 2, 2007, Philadelphia's KYW-TV (CBS 3) broadcast its 11 o'clock news from the station's new 120,000sq-ft facility. It was one of the nation's first all-HD TV stations built from the ground up, and was designed and constructed in less than 10 months. The facility is also home to WPSG-TV, a CW station. KYW produces five-and-a-half hours of news per day in addition to sports specials and charity fund-raisers. When the station's lease was up, the engineering team saw an opportunity to build an efficient, scalable facility that would also be a pleasant place to work. The team knew this would require a different model for storage and workflow than the SD model, which would soon be overwhelmed by the density of information HD carries.
