Huntington, NY, December 02, 2020 --(PR.com)-- New Production Studio Launches in Melville in Former CBS/WLNY-TV Studio Space, Where Drake Began Her Television Career

Donna Drake, the host of The Donna Drake Show a weekly, 30-minute television and digital talk series, and President of Drake Media Network, Inc. today announced the creation of Drake Media Studios, a full-service production studio. This month, Drake Media Studios will take over the former CBS/WLNY TV 10/55 studio space located at 270 South Service Road in Melville, which will then become the new home of The Donna Drake Show.

This is full circle for Donna Drake, her show airs in New York on CBS’s WLNY and she started her New York media career working in the promotions department of WLNY in 1997, eventually overseeing the entire department as Creative Services Director before leaving to create The Donna Drake Show in 2009.

The 3,000+ square footage space, which had previously been home to WLNY’s News, had been dark for over six years, but will now be renovated to create the new home of Drake Media Studios and The Donna Drake Show. As part of the redesign, multipurpose grid-lit studios with technology upgrades, green screens, cyc wall, additional hard scenery and accent furnishings will be added, along with a renovated greenroom and guest area. A full-service podcast studio will also be created. Drake Media Studios will be available for production, creative resources and strategic partnerships for film, TV, radio, podcast and OTT platforms and distribution.

Said Drake, "I am a proud supporter of Long Island and our regional entertainment industry. I am thrilled to be able to revitalize the original WLNY studio and newsroom in Melville. When I left the station to launch my show, I never imagined I would come full circle and physically return to the site that started my television career. Being able to grow The Donna Drake Show, and in turn create a companion studio, especially during a global pandemic, are beyond my wildest dreams!"
