NC State Athletics Broadcast & Production Center
Located at the main entrance of the Wendell H. Murphy Football Center at Carter-Finley Stadium, the new NC State Athletics Broadcast and Production Center will be a state-of-the-art facility where the NC State Athletics Broadcast and Video staff will tell the stories, promote the brand and create the narrative of NC State Athletics. The facility will feature:
• Working broadcast studio space
• Multiple modern production control rooms
• A green screen studio
• Editing / production suites
The project objective will be to design a main studio and control rooms for the production of game day video and year-round programming that meet the content creation and live game production requirements of the upcoming ACC Network, which was announced in July of 2016. Live broadcast operations will be observable by students, faculty, staff and fans, creating a hub of activity at the studio year-round, as our 23 varsity teams are featured on programming that will be seen digitally and via the ACC Network.
It will serve as the home for production and on-set filming of NC State Athletics television and internet broadcasts and programming, as well as the game day operations center for in-venue display board productions for all NC State Athletics venues. The control room will serve as the hub for NC State athletics over the airwaves, with fiber optic connections coming in from every arena and stadium on campus.
The project will include a vanity station for preparation/makeup space for talent and studio guests, housed adjacent to studio space.
The 20-year partnership between ESPN and the ACC will provide fans unprecedented access to live events via a comprehensive, multi-platform network. It also provides for the extension of the conference’s existing rights agreement with ESPN to 2036. ESPN is the ACC’s exclusive worldwide rights holder.
Fans can access more than 600 exclusive live events from across the conference via a digital live-events channel ‘ACC Network Extra’, immediately available to users who have access to ESPN3 via WatchESPN and the ESPN app, with that number growing each year. More than 1,300 ACC events will be distributed across the platforms in 2019 when the linear network launches.
