Where the news happens in Buffalo
Buffalo generates lake-effect snow, trials, and the Bills, and that is where our Buffalo crews spend most of their days: Buffalo City Hall and the Erie County courts, the Robert H.

The same crews cover Downtown Buffalo, Elmwood Village, Allentown, Canalside, and North Buffalo and the surrounding communities of Western New York when the story moves.

Scheduled coverage in Buffalo includes press conferences, trials and hearings, campaign stops, sports and entertainment at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center, KeyBank Center, and Niagara Falls, commencements and campus stories at the University at Buffalo, Canisius University, and Buffalo State University, and the planned events that fill a rundown. We shoot to your style guide, deliver b-roll, VOSOTs, or full packages, and return the raw media the same day.

Live shots from Buffalo are supported end to end: LiveU and TVU bonded cellular, IFB and return video, satellite coordination when a story calls for it, and a photographer who treats a live window as sacred.
