No. Many producers own their own equipment and provide QPTV with completed shows that we cablecast. Non-Queens residents must have a local sponsor.

Workshops
STUDIO PRODUCTION WORKSHOP:
Trainees will learn every aspect of producing a program in QPTV’s three camera production studio. Students will get hands-on experience in multiple microphone set-ups, switching using a special effects generator and lighting. Students will also learn how to produce a live call-in show where viewers can participate in their program. Each trainee will participate in a group project during the tenth session, and will be required to produce an individual project, which is necessary for certification, within in six months.

Studio B Training
To: All QPTV Studio Producers
From: Clifford Jacobs, Deputy Executive Director QPTV
QPTV is pleased to announce the commencement of STUDIO B training. Studio B training is open to all QPTV Studio Certified Producers.
The training will consist of one 3 hour session with a QPTV instructor. Studio “A” Certification is a prerequisite for taking the Studio B Workshop. (New Studio Trainees will receive Studio B Training as part of their 11 week training cycle.) The maximum number of trainees in each workshop will be five. We encourage producers to team up with one to four members of their regular crew and come in together for Studio B training.
There will be a modest materials fee of twenty ($20.00) for taking the workshop. Registration is on a first come first serve basis.
