VPM (Community Idea Stations) Studios

Encorepreneur! has visited the home of Bert and Ernie — the public media studios on Sesame Street near the corner of Huguenot and Robious Roads — several times, most recently meeting in spacious Studio A, used for in-house productions and rented to outside producers.

The largest locally owned and operated media company in the region, VPM (formerly Community Idea Stations) reaches hundreds of thousands of people each week across Central Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley. Its production arm creates local programs, documentaries, live shots for news networks around the world, and commercial and web video — in studio and on location with a mobile production unit.
