St. Francis College held a ribbon-cutting ceremony with News 12's Phil Taitt to announce the opening of the school's brand-new TV studio.

The studio will help students gain valuable experience using equipment similar to what News 12 and other broadcast news stations use across the country.

"The idea behind this new production studio at St. Francis College is to have a facility that the students can work together in on the latest, greatest, state-of-the-art equipment," said Mitch Jacobson, director and studio designer at the college.
