Teletape Studios
Reeves Teletape Studios was a group of television studios located in Manhattan in New York City. Owned by Reeves Communications Corporation, it was formed in 1974 by the merger of Reeves Sound Services (a sound and video post-production company and successor to the former Reeves Soundcraft - founded by Hazard E. Reeves), and Tele-tape Productions (a video remote truck and studio facility firm based in NY). Reeves Communications went bankrupt in 1992.
