New transistorized equipment has changed many basic concepts of television station system design. The studio building of WCAU-TV was built in 1951 of steel I-beam construction with no supporting walls. The building contains 100,000 ft² of floor space with four studios. A floor plan was designed to provide the most efficient possible layout for operating areas. Central control, production control, announce booth, rack room, video tape, telecine and the shop are together physically and comprise the Central Technical Area.
