I am looking for a company to make copies of television commercial beta tapes. Where do I look?

Question

I work for a small advertising company and I am new to the business in general. I need a company that will make copies of our beta tape commercials so we can send the copied tapes to the television stations across the country.

Answer 1

It depends on where you live. Most large to average sized towns and cities will have production houses capable of doing that. Check in your phone book under "Video Production Services" or "Production Companies." I recall that in cities like Los Angeles and NYC - where there is a lot of production - you can even find specific listings in the yellow pages under "Tape Duplication" or "Post Production Services." If your town is too small for that, check with your local cable company or television affiliates to find out who they use for their duplication needs.
