New Orleans Fox affiliate WVUE has officially moved into its brand-new building.
“Extremely excited. We’re at the finish line now,” said general manager Mikel Schaefer. “This is state of the art. This is the highest-end technology that you can have in our industry, and people will see the difference when they’re watching.”
The station said the new Howard Avenue studios mark a major technological leap forward for the station. The facility includes two fully equipped studios and two control rooms, with cutting-edge LED monitors and a digital infrastructure wired into every corner.
“This is my home and I take that so seriously,” Schaefer said. “We want the best for our people, and this is an example of trying to give them the best.”
The project was paid for by Gray Media Group, the station’s owner.
“The investment is for all of us,” he said. “It’s for the 12 parishes and two Mississippi counties that we cover on a daily basis. But separate and apart, yes, an investment in the city of New Orleans — showing how much we feel like investing in the city is important.”
