I went for a movie screening in Netflix which is one of the major tenants here. I haven't seen the entire studios so my review will be based on my experience with Netflix. Netflix is amazing. The lobby is very impressive and it gets better after walking through the theater. They have a Netflix wall that displays all the awards Netflix has received. There also some props that were used in making movies. There are many security guards in the lobby but they're all friendly. Not sure how many people the theater can accommodate but I would guess about a hundred. The seats are comfortable., the screen is big, sound is perfect and temperature is great. read more

See all

Nice location where they shoot several shows. Was invited to visit the grounds and was really impressed. Prior to that, I never knew this place existed. You would never know that this place is a nice production location. It's one of those hidden gems in the city. read more

Unless you are blind (how are you reading this review if you are blind?!) then you have certainly seen the KTLA towers/antennas in the Hollywood skyline on Sunset. KTLA is located at Sunset Bronson Studios: the sister studio to Sunset Gower. I have had the fortunate (or unfortunate) opportunity to spend time at Sunset Bronson while doing audience work for some TV shows. It's lucky that I get paid because Sunset Bronson is not necessarily the best studio to film at if you are merely an audience member. First of all, the parking situation is horrible. Most studios allow audience members to park in either their private lots or garages specifically for tourists/audience members. Sunset Bronson only has "street parking" meaning either on Sunset or the apartment-filled residential streets off of Bronson. It's is about as easy to find parking on these streets as it is to avoid the sun in SoCal. Nearly impossible. Plus, they have the bright idea of filming shows at 8am on Monday and Tuesday mornings when these aforementioned streets have their scheduled street cleanings. I have missed some of my appointments at the studio due to this factor. They could AT LEAST warn you. The employees at Sunset Bronson lay in the middle of the "Stuck-up Studio Employees" scale. Not as relaxed as CBS but not as uptight as the Sony lot. They DO give you a free bottled water as you enter which is nice. Oddly, after the security checkpoint; they make you sit outside under a canopy before you are let in. It is a weird process. Sunset Bronson is also one of the high advocates of the process of continuously moving audience members around to best suit the "pretty factor" of the audience shots (this factor varies per studio). If you plan to attend a shoot here, get dropped off, prepare to spend lots of time in line and then under the canopy tent, and make sure you are extremely attractive that day. read more

Sunset Bronson Studios - Television Stations Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was lucky enough to be offered a private tour of the studios. Really expansive, creative space. Much larger than it looks from the road. Staff were super friendly and professional. Little known fact: This used to be the old Warner Brothers Studios. Initially it was built as a bowling alley. KTLA used to be housed here in the early 1960's. Productions such as "The Jazz Singer", cartoons "Looney Tunes", "Judge Judy", "Hannah Montana" and the "Biggest Loser". Netflicks has moved in to the new developed portion of the 4 story building. This studio is also listed on the Los Angeles Historical Register. read more

I went to a taping of the Arsenio Hall Show here and it was fun. Its a bunch of studios where they work, it wasn't a concert hall, a night club or restaurant- its a work area. This is why its hard to say why its good or bad but I will try. Good: the people who I ran into that worked there all seemed very nice. It was a bunch of warehouse type buildings but is seemed clean and neat. The show was fun and quick. Bad: If you go to a show there, the parking can be tough and if you show up after the time they say you need to be there, your probably not getting in. I know this sounds weird but going to a taping is like going in the kitchen of your favorite restaurant... your either going to be more fascinated or disgusted. I actually thought Arsenio was funnier off camera, so to me it was great! read more

Great little lot! Unlike the big studios, all spread out, everything you need is right at your fingertips. The lot staff is friendly and quick to help with our needs. The security guards are great, my favorite being Alan. Parking is easy and right across the street. Can't wait to come back! read more

Today was my first time at the studio AND LET ME TELL YOU it left quite the wonderful impression on me. I actually never knew it existed. Which goes to show how many studios are actually in LA that some you don't even know about. It's located on Sunset Blvd with a convenient parking lot that has you put your car keys on top of the windshield of your card on the outside, which is a tad strange. Didn't experience this myself but my coworkers told me. The lot and the streets around the lot were clean. The bathrooms were nice and clean. It's my understanding the buildings are owned by a real estate company that keeps the studio in a constant remodeling phase which is good for the upkeep of the buildings but not so much for business. So keep this in mind when shooting here. The sets were gorgeous, though. The set design/costume design of productions in-house is stunning and may have been what stood out the most. read more

This has been my favorite studio to work in hands down. And my favorite studio to watch shows in. The staff here is very friendly and informative. You never wonder what's going on. Plus my favorite judge in the world makes her tv show here, Judge Judy! If you want to have a fun nice time and relaxing day coming here for whatever the reason will definitely provide that. read more

I have worked here over the years for different events and shows. They have no commissary, and most security personnel have me make this face several times a day. :/ read more

Went to the Arsenio Hall show here and it was easy to find, easy parking and the staff was cool. I even had a little interaction with Arsenio Hall too! Gotta arrive early for good parking! read more

Producers's call-back meeting for 'Celebrity Name Game'! Total blast w/Kosta Coast Entertainment crew!

Fun. Thanks to my friend, we were able to attend the show hosted by Wayne Brady and we had a blast!

I'm torn about this review. Most of the staff deserves 5 stars. The taping was great, Craig Ferguson was funny, everything was pretty enjoyable. Some serious issues though, as a studio audience member (a ticker-holder, not a paid seat filler). 1. Standing outside for 30 min+ in 104-degree weather. 2. Phones must be left in car, so no distraction from that miserable wait. 3. We took Uber and were then informed we needed to return our phones to our car because they wouldn't hold them for us. So, DON'T BRING YOUR PHONE IF YOU'RE TAKING UBER, oh wait..................how are you going to order Uber with no phone? Wtf. (Ended up smuggling them in because there was no alternative besides calling back the Uber to take us back to the hotel, but don't count on being able to do that as you have to go through metal detectors/wands. And of course we were respectful of their no recording policy.) 4. There was no water for those standing out in the 104-degree weather because one of their untrained employees broke the water cooler by putting the tank on wrong. 5. During the taping there was a bathroom break after the first show, and we were told there would be breaks after each show. But after the second, they didn't allow us to leave our seats. 6. After the third show we finally rushed to the bathroom and were informed we were not permitted to use them. 7. The woman "guarding" the bathroom hallway was extremely snotty about it and wouldn't say why we couldn't use it, she said talk to (some acronym), I asked who that is and she sighed heavily, looked at me like I was an idiot, and said "the people who gave you the tickets." Oh really? We went through Tvtix.com and there's no obvious mention of that group on the printouts, so...unprofessional, obnoxiously rude, AND doesn't know her job very well. 8. Anyway, we later found out the bathrooms were blocked off so talent could use them if they wanted. They don't have restrooms for the talent? 9. They wouldn't even permit us to use the several porta-potties about 50 feet away from the entrance. They directed us to "some Thai places and other restaurants a few blocks down the road." Uh, thanks? 10. If they had simply warned us about the bathroom situation or allowed the second break it would have been unfortunate but I wouldn't have been annoyed enough to write about it. We were misled that we would have breaks to get up and take care of things every 40 minutes or so. Instead it was 2+ hours (plus however long it takes you to exit and get to public bathroom while in the middle of nowhere). I should mention that one of my companions was older and disabled, and we totally lucked out that he didn't have his usual issues that day...would have been a serious nightmare for us and humiliating for him since we had no extra clothes, transportation, or phone. Anyway though, like I said, most of the staff was wonderful and friendly. The studio experience was a lot of fun, it was our first taping, and I'd recommend others go to one to see behind the scenes and how things are run. But I guess all it takes is one charm school dropout, one person who doesn't know how to change a water cooler, one thoughtless policy, and not telling people you won't let them use your bathrooms for the rest of their time there to really ruin an experience. (We talked to a Paramount studio audience handler the next day, and they were pretty appalled by the treatment.) **Note: I'm not sure they care, but I'm happy to change my rating if one of their representatives can confirm they've fixed these problems.** read more
