Hey there,
The control room stopped travelling.
Every week, The Gruden Family Football Show goes out live from Studio G. Five cameras in 4K, ISOs recorded on site, the program cut in real time from the network’s own control room, hundreds of miles away, over SRT. The talent is here. There is no truck. Partner: Barstool Sports.
That is what this building was designed around. Put the talent in St. Pete, send every camera to your control room, take the return feed back. Same show. No travel.
Here is what else is moving this month.
What's new
Three new sets, coming online now.
Three new mini sets are coming online at Shear Media Studios: Lounge, Talk Show, and Sport Tech. Permanent, purpose-built configurations for branded content, interviews, and recurring segments. No reset between shoots. You arrive, the set is there, and what changes session to session is what you put in front of the camera. Same facility, same crew, same L6 control room behind it.

Studio A
180° cyc. 14-ft grid. White or green.
Full 180-degree cyclorama, 14 feet high with a lighting grid. Seamless white or green, no floor seam, no corner shadow. Product shoots, executive interviews, broadcast singles, clean-background work. It connects to the same L6 control room as Studio G, so the director’s position doesn’t change when the room does.

L6 control room
Switch it live. Record every camera.
The L6 is hardwired broadcast infrastructure, not a switcher on a table. Every camera records ISO at the same time. A director switches live while a technical director watches the signal path. And if your control room is somewhere else, SRT handles the transmission. That is how a national sports network cuts its show from hundreds of miles away while the cameras are in St. Pete.

Podcast suites
Walk in. Record. Publish.
Five podcast suites, video-ready: multi-camera positions, proper lighting, acoustic treatment, switching and mixing built in. Connect to the L6 control room to stream live during the session. If your show grows into a stage production, a live event, or an audience build, Studio G is in the same building.

12100 28th St N, St. Petersburg, about 20 minutes from downtown Tampa. A tour takes 20 minutes. A technical call takes the same. If you’re scouting a production home, setting up a recurring show, or booking a one-day shoot, this is the conversation to have. I’ll give the tour myself.
