Among the original dramas that Xpress TV distributes are the science fiction sensation “Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda,” “Mutant X,” and the action-adventure thriller “Beastmaster.” The library also includes action hours “Relic Hunter,” “Night Man,” “Gene Roddenberry’s Earth: Final Conflict,” and comedy “City Guys.” In addition, Xpress TV oversees Xpress TV Studios, the historic studio lot in Hollywood that was once known as KTLA Studios, which the company thoroughly renovated and converted 7,000 square feet of soundstages to house complete state-of-the-art digital studios, making it the first all-digital studio lot in the United States. To restore the grandeur of the venerable lot, the major renovation also included the remodeling of all buildings located at the site, including “Tara,” the 60,000 square foot colonial building built in 1995 to serve as the headquarters of Warner Bros. Pictures. “Tara” houses Xpress TV’s corporate headquarters and extensive production office space for Xpress TV Studios tenants. Xpress TV also has offices in New York and Chicago.
