Seacrest Studios, an in-house multimedia broadcast center, opened in July 2013 at Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte, NC. Thanks to the Ryan Seacrest Foundation, patients at Levine Children’s Hospital now have the ability to explore the creative realms of radio, television, and new media right from their hospital rooms. We are one of just a handful of children’s hospitals nationwide to have this resource available for our patients and families. The 652-square-foot studio, located inside the hospital’s Overcash Atrium, includes five guest microphones, production-quality video cameras and radio equipment, and plans for a green screen that will allow patients to participate in video projects. The studio programming is broadcast to patient rooms via closed-circuit televisions so that all patients can participate in the fun. Patients can tune in to channel 99 to enjoy the broadcasts and they even have the ability to request songs or ask questions of interviewees (just call 6-RYAN from your hospital phone).
