On February 17, 2011, members of the Broadcast Professionals Of Colorado were fortunate to receive a tour of the KDVR-KWGN studios led by President and General Manager Peter Maroney and Chief Engineer Bill Harpe.

We visted the news sets of both Fox 31 and Channel 2, the control rooms from which both stations originate their live news telecasts and got a glimpse of the advanced technology that drives both stations. This is the largest broadcast news facility in Colorado, featuring a unique studio layout and extensive automated technologies. During the morning, two full crews operate simultaneously produce news and information programming for each station.

Following are some pictures of this impressive broadcast facility.

open atrium observation area above each end of the set.
