How broadcasters can access the campus

UC Davis welcomes broadcast journalists on campus. Although vehicles are generally not permitted within the core campus, media vehicles may drive into the core through arrangements made by the News Service. Just give us a call.

We also ask that journalists make arrangements with professors before entering laboratories or classrooms. The News Service can help you with those arrangements.

Radio interviews

The campus provides live ISDN audio broadcast services through Academic Technology Services. For a fee, outside radio producers may conduct a remote interview with someone on the Davis campus. To make arrangements, contact Mike Luthi at (530) 752-9989, , or Robert Craig at (530) 752-8250, .

Television studio and AT&T fiber connection

UC Davis operates an 835-square-foot television studio that can accommodate interviews on site. For a fee, we can originate television feeds from the studio to any location worldwide via fiber optic link.

The studio is equipped to handle a variety of video formats. It has complete lighting, sound and communication facilities.

The studio is located in the IET Academic Technology Services building, 1400 Surge II. Media vehicles may park at the rear of the building, but please call ahead. We’ll work to make sure space is available.
