For three decades, Capitol Television News Service (CTNS) has been providing television news rooms with coverage of State Capitol activities, features and major breaking stories in the region. Our staff camera crews and reporters cover the Capitol Monday through Friday preparing an average 4 to 5 stories daily. Those stories, VO, SOTs and occasionally package reports are uploaded to our password protected website from our headquarters in downtown Sacramento.

Subscribers to the service get a morning rundown of the planned coverage. Around mid-day, a final rundown is sent out. Script and other information is provided in mid-afternoon.  CTNS also sells stories individually or from our extensive library. We can feed these stories via Ku or C band satellite or LTN, and The Switch (fiber optic).
