The award winning company was honored by Videography magazine as one of the top fifty corporate production facilities in the United States, has won numerous Telly awards for corporate video excellence, and had staff members selected as two of the “Top 100 Producers” of 2001 by a national video production trade magazine.

Ken and crew on a recent Jazzercise 4-camera live switched shoot for a home retail video
called "Core", a home work out product which will be released early next year.

Ken has worked with Broadcast Rentals for about 10 years.

"We started working with Broadcast Rentals when they opened in San Diego in the late 90’s. We were on a shoot using camera gear supplied by another large rental company. As circumstances had it, the camera we were renting developed a problem and the rental company could not send out a replacement, since literally everything they had was out on a huge job that day. Needless to say I was not happy. I called Broadcast Rentals… and they rushed right up and replaced the other camera that went bad from the other company. It was good timing on everyone’s part and they really helped us out in a pinch and since that point we have rented from Broadcast Rentals."

"Rather than “coming to the rescue”, Broadcast Rentals has always been prepared for virtually anything. There are any number of rental houses on the west coast who can supply cameras…but Broadcast Rentals always goes that extra step and brings more than what is needed as backup. There is never a mad rush back to the shop if something goes wrong. They always bring a back up camera, a back up deck and on rare occasions if there is an issue, there is always a back up. There has never been a late night emergency because Broadcast Rentals thinks well enough ahead to cover any emergencies."

"Customer Service is huge with Broadcast Rentals. They are very responsive and have great people and help out as much as they possibly can. Broadcast Rentals has always focused on how they service the client and their customer service is fantastic. The equipment is well maintained and the service is there when you need it.
"

"As far as the formats that we are using, we shoot mostly Standard Def on DVcam format. As soon as our internal clients have a need for HD, we will definitely call on Broadcast Rentals because of their vast array of High Def Cameras and support gear.
Our favorite cameras are the D30 and 570s for multi camera shoots."

Jim knows the value of good gear and good people. "In my business, reputation is everything. Some of the credit for my reputation has to go to Ozzie and Broadcast Rentals. When I am hired to shoot a high profile interview or a major sporting event, it is because of my track record with the network. They know that they can count on me to get the job done. Likewise, I count on Ozzie to supplement my inventory if I am short on cameras, lighting or audio gear. I know that the equipment from Broadcast Rentals is in top notch condition and that his people are totally into making sure that my needs are met".

"When I first came to Phoenix, I literally had no gear. I met Ozzie at a rental house just before braking out on his own...and I was impressed by his sincere effort to insure that I got what I needed and when I needed it. I have been renting from Broadcast Rentals since their inception. Even with the amount of equipment that I now have, it is impossible to keep up with the different formats and cameras available and that is why I count on Broadcast Rentals. They have bailed me out countless times....when a producer asks for a particular item, Ozzie and his crew are there every time".

Ozzie responds, ..."Jim Farrell has built Crew West from scratch much the same way that we have built Broadcast Rentals. We buy good gear. We hire better people. We provide the best in terms of customer service. We have been fortunate to have loyal customers like Jim and his team move us forward over the last fifteen years. We couldn't have done it without them!"
