Broadcasters give the base publicity by creating video news stories for the military and the public to see. Their mission involves highlighting what our Airmen do for their base, and for their surrounding community. We can cover retirement or promotion ceremonies honoring Wing, Vice-Wing, NAF Commanders as well as important historical figures such as Medal of Honor winners, etc. If you want other retirement or promotion ceremonies recorded, you can check out one of our self help cameras, and all you have to do is buy the tapes. We can also duplicate up to 10 dvds, as long as you bring us the blank dvd's. If the material is Copyrighted, you need to bring permission to copy from the owner.
