The Apollo Media Center in Buffalo, NY, is a state-of-the-art telecommunications facility that was originally intended to be restored as a movie theater. However, due to lack of private sector support, it was transformed into a facility that provides top-notch resources for Public, Educational, and Governmental Access. With two TV studios, private editing suites, a conference room, and other amenities, the 18,000 square foot facility offers a range of capabilities for TV production and broadcasting.
Although it no longer functions as a performance venue, the Apollo Media Center has preserved much of its original theater charm, including the old marquee replaced by an electronic message board. The facility also showcases a unique tile quilt project in the lobby, featuring the artistic talent of local residents. Originally opened in 1941, the Apollo Theater was a popular movie theater until a fire caused extensive damage in 1966. After being abandoned in the late 1980s, the city took over the property, leading to its transformation into the impressive telecommunications facility it is today.
