USA Time Zone Graphic

Freedom Broadcast Studios is conveniently located in the Tri-State area, just minutes from downtown Manhattan, in Clifton, NJ. Our 5,100 sq ft location allows us better access to a wide range of technical and production crew with just a short commute to our facilities. Many of our production staff, including; TD’s, Audio Mixers, EVS/Replay Ops, Graphics and Score Bug operators work on a regular basis for Freedom Broadcast Studios covering multiple clients. Because of our location in the Eastern time zone, and our multiple control rooms, we can offer live productions covering all four US domestic time zones simultaneously.

The FBS studios also includes a fully-staffed Master Control with talented engineers to assist in getting your show to air. The facility also includes a crew break room and meal area, men’s & women’s restrooms, meeting space, hair & makeup area, and studio/flex space. Our National and Regional production control rooms are equipped with the latest technologically-advanced gear. In addition, each of our PCR’s can be configured differently, based on your show requirements, particularly for graphics and replay requirements.
