Hard Work is Paying Off in the Studio
Boxes galore is what you will see when you walk into the Al Roker Television Studio these days. Our installers are hard at work in the control room and the rack room installing new our new high definition equipment.
“What’s in these boxes right here is almost everything we need to complete the upgrade” – Justin Dobrow ’17, General Manager
The first thing that was installed in the studio were some cables.
Additional cables were installed in different parts of the studio
Take a look at the list of wires installers are using to figure out where each go in the studio (crazy confusing huh?).
List of wires the installers are using to connect everything together
After the cables are installed new equipment like the Ross Carbonite switcher, Xpression Graphics system, new Ikegami HD cameras will be installed and setup. New mounts for the monitors and wireless technology for the IFB and headsets will be installed as well.
Ross Carbonite switcher- “This lets us do green screens (called chroma keying), split screens, picture in picture, and lets us switch between video sources like cameras or videos like packages or show intros” – Nick Costanzo, V.P. of EngineeringMoving onto our new and improved rack room, better known as the “brains” of the new studio. In the rack room we have; Ross Xpression, Grass Valley playback system and a Tightrope media server that lets us schedule shows to play during the day or play reruns.
The rack room is coming together slowly
Stay tuned next week and keep up with our progress right here until the end of October!

Rental Permit Fee Hike Approved
In a Common Council meeting, Mayor Billy Barlow’s proposal to increase the rental permit fee was approved; after a 5-1- 1 voting result.
Mayor Billy Barlow says the proposal will make the “landlords accountable and pressure them into maintaining their property and treating their tenants fairly.”
According to the proposal, the new fee is $150 dollars for a three year period, which is five times more expense than the current $30 fee. This new fee will become effective as of October 1st.
The last time the fee was increased was back in August 22nd, 2005.
The Mayor says they will be adding a new code enforcer next year; saying that with all of the new expenses and upgrades in the code enforcement department; he believes that it will improve the department and the inspection process.
Some property owners in Oswego have spoken out against the new proposal, saying it would have made more sense if the penalties for landlords that were in violation of the city code; were increased.
Mayor Barlow says there will be more amendments added to the city charter regarding code enforcement. He says this proposal is only the beginning of his campaign to crack down against negligent landlords.
