Broadcast quality. Studio efficiency.

A satellite media tour connects your spokesperson to television markets across the country in a single day, local news morning shows, national cable segments, and syndicated broadcast outlets, from one fixed studio location. No airports, no travel days, no spokesperson fatigue from city-hopping.

San Francisco Green Screen operates as an SMT origination point with broadcast-grade infrastructure: fiber connectivity, IFB talkback for the spokesperson, satellite-compatible signal routing, and a production team experienced in the back-to-back format that SMTs require.

The studio has originated satellite media tours for pharmaceutical announcements, consumer brand launches, and technology product milestones reaching television markets nationwide.
