Located just minutes from Capitol Hill and three major airports, the Washington Broadcast Center is a state-of-the-art live production hub purpose-built for recurring live shows, events, sports talk, political commentary, and branded content. As the East Coast flagship facility for Broadcast Management Group (BMG), WBC represents the future of production in the nation’s capital—merging innovative technology with unmatched creative resources.

“The Washington Broadcast Center is an example of how DC continues to expand as the Creative Capital, offering unmatched spaces for filmmakers, networks, and brands to tell their stories,” said LaToya Foster, Director of OCTFME and DC Film Commissioner. “From its state-of-the-art facilities to its ability to host both live audiences and hybrid productions, WBC strengthens DC’s position as a destination for high-quality media production, while creating jobs and opportunities for our local creative community.”
