What Cbs Television City Studios does

CBS Television City Studios (TVC Studios, doing business as Television City) is a full-service production facility operating from a 25-acre campus at 7800 Beverly Blvd in Los Angeles, California. Established in 1956 and now owned by Hackman Capital Partners through its HCP Studio Platform, the facility offers versatile sound stages for television series, feature films, live broadcasts, and digital content; 150,000 square feet of production office space; and dedicated broadcast infrastructure branded as TVC Live for weekly shows, competition programming, and major events. Onsite production services include lighting, grip, drapery, editing bays, color grading, and audio post-production, positioning the campus as an integrated production ecosystem rather than a pure real-estate rental.

The company's customer base is concentrated among major entertainment enterprises, with documented relationships across Sony, Warner Bros, AMC, HBO, FOX, Fremantle, CBS, American Idol, and Real Time with Bill Maher. In 2024-2025, Television City expanded its addressable market through a strategic partnership with Interwoven Studios, extending access to digital content creators, social media influencers, and YouTube/Twitch/TikTok/Instagram producers, and launched an Events hosting vertical for product launches, sports collaborations, fashion shows, and galas. The TVC Tomorrow modernization initiative signals ongoing capital reinvestment to reposition the facility for next-generation creators and global media leadership.

Revenue is generated primarily through studio space rental (short-term shoots and long-term leasing of sound stages and production offices), production services (lighting, grip, drapery, post-production), and event hosting on a quote-based pricing model. The company distributes services through direct website-driven leasing with a prominent 'Lease Space Now' call-to-action and direct sales engagement with major productions, networks, and brands. Television City operates solely in the United States (California) and reports only 7 corporate employees, with operations and tenant services likely scaled through the broader Hackman Capital portfolio. No public revenue, pricing, or funding disclosures are available.

Direct peers

Direct peer in scale, business model, and PE ownership, allowing the most direct benchmarking of TVC's operating economics.
• The Culver Studios: Historic LA studio complex owned by Hackman Capital Partners, offering sound stages, production offices, and event spaces. Closely comparable to TVC in size, ownership, and full-service positioning.
• East End Studios: Independent full-service LA sound stage and production office complex targeting TV, film, and streaming productions. Direct competitor for the same enterprise tenant base TVC serves.
• The Lot (West Hollywood): Historic Hollywood full-service production facility offering sound stages, offices, and post-production. Head-to-head competitor for premium Hollywood productions and live programming.

• Universal Studios Lot: Major studio campus offering sound stages, production offices, and post-production services. Comparable service mix and customer base, but operates within a much larger parent studio ecosystem.
