[SBE] How long did it take you to move the studio

[Blomstrand, Jon]

I have overseen many projects ranging from several thousand to several
million.  As several others have already commented, planning is crucial.
An unplanned move is a recipe for disaster.  Making it up as you go
along is not going to cut it.  For a multistation, major market move the
planning stage can easily be a year or more likely much more.  The
actual cut over will go quick with proper planning.  Watch out for the
after math.  Storm cleanup can be just as challenging as the move can
be.
Try to include extra help in the project budget.  One thing that can
derail your project is interruptions from the daily operation.  Try to
have one or more people dedicated to the project so they can stay
focused.

Hi,

 

For those of you that had the joy of relocating your studios at one time
or another:

 

How many Control Rooms/Production Rooms did you move?

How long did it take?

How many workers were involved?

What new equipment did you buy (new service tower, consoles, etc.)? 

What did it all cost?

 

Any other comments would be welcome.

 

Thanks,

 

Glenn Williams

Chief Engineer, KLJC
