Begin your inaugural festivities today with Oprah Winfrey’s “Inauguration Special”

All eyes will be on Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, January 20 when President-elect Barack Obama

is sworn in as President of the United States. But Oprah Winfrey will start the festivities today with her Inauguration Special, a remote broadcast from Washington, D.C., scheduled to air in Chicago on WLS-TV at 3 p.m. CST (4 p.m. EST). Check your local listings.

Chicago Scenic Studios, Inc. has once again lent its expertise to the Oprah Winfrey Show. For this special inauguration set, CSSI built support wagons for LED walls and scenic elements, and coordinated onsite staging activities. Chicago Scenic also provided upstage railings and column facades for the Inaugural show. A CSSI senior project manager and production carpenter traveled to Washington, D.C. to ensure that the project ran smoothly.

Chicago Scenic Studios previously worked as the project manger and fabricator for Oprahs current show set which debuted in 2005 and features more than 50 points of automation.
