Everyone knows about the maternal benefits brought on by necessity. For Cortron Media, our clients’ needs have led us to invent a whole new area of service.
In the live TV portion of our business, newsmakers visit our downtown Pittsburgh studios on an average of seventy times a month to participate in interviews aired on all major domestic and international news networks. There are occasions, though, when these major influencers don’t have time to visit our studios. In those cases, we can go to them by means of our satellite uplink truck.
But there have also been situations where staff members of an organization are being asked to do satellite interviews so frequently, that their normal activities are severely disrupted. In that case, Cortron brings the studio to the client.
With 2 decades of studio design, construction, provisioning and installation experience, Cortron can provide clients with the ability to facilitate live television interviews from their own offices without the need of an expensive satellite truck. From small footprint studios to large professional broadcast venues, Cortron provides solutions.

We assess needs, analyze equipment and acoustical requirements, provide drawings and instructions. Our involvement might stop at recommendations, or, include full-scale involvement including supervision and training.
In the fall of 2010, Cortron had a chance to take our design and install capabilities to new heights with a major project that was dear to our hearts. After making the best of former studios inherited from a local network TV affiliate for over a decade, we were tasked with designing and building out a brand-new studio for our company on the ground floor of the Gateway Towers building in Pittsburgh. The project included dealing with critical noise abatement, with a major traffic route adjacent to two of our studios’ exterior walls. We also had the technical challenge of interfacing the studios with a control room being outfitted with new digital/HD equipment and connecting all three rooms with our new editing suite and sound booth.
Finally, we needed to create an attractive, cohesive design for support areas including a stylish green room suite with facilities for serving snacks and meals to clients spending the day with us, and office, reception and video conferencing suites.
But one of our most visually stunning and successful assignments occurred at Weather Trends 360 located in Bethlehem, PA. Weather Trends 360 had been providing some of the nation’s most accurate weather forecasting services, but their video imagery lagged far behind their forecasting capabilities.
Cortron entered the picture and the look and sound of Weather Trend’s online presence jumped forward dramatically. They now receive compliments for the look of their broadcasts that mirror the positive feedback that had previously been reserved for the quality of their work product.
In summary, what began as a response to a client’s time crunch dilemma, further developed into open air studios, and has matured into state-of-the-art private studio design and construction services. What’s next for Cortron? It’s something we call the Veteran’s Television Network.
