HarfordTV Ribbon Cutting Celebrates New Mobile Production Van

Bel Air, MD – October 17, 2024 – The Harford County Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony on October 15, 2024 to celebrate HarfordTV’s new mobile television production van.

The 2024 Sprinter cargo van was transformed into a mobile television control room in August with the help of VPC, Inc. It features five cameras (two robotic), digital mixing audio console, announcer’s console to communicate with talent, replays with slo-mo, advanced graphics, and more. 

The new mobile television production van, which replaced their 17-year-old former van, allows HarfordTV to continue serving the citizens of Harford County by going on-location and professionally covering events including government meetings, sporting events, award banquets, concerts, galas, parades, and much more. Most events are livestreamed on HarfordTV’s Facebook page.

“Our van is an important part of how we serve the citizens of Harford County,” said Kelly Jara, HarfordTV’s executive director. “We look forward to providing award-winning local programming for years to come.”
