JTV® Launches its 25th Birthday Celebrations by Revealing Renovated Studio Space Designed by Emmy Award Winning Design Firm

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its 25^th birthday celebrations, JTV (Jewelry Television^®) announced today the launch of a newly designed and renovated studio space, including an immersive 330 degree set environment. Alongside the world renowned and Emmy Award-Winning design firm Jack Morton Design, JTV began planning in January 2018, followed by six months of design and four months of construction.

Renovations include upgraded sets, cameras, lighting and other production support. The remodel allows for an expansive scenic environment, with 13 vignettes to provide unique backgrounds for the wide range of JTV shows.
