Wayne State University and Detroit Public Television (DPTV), WTVS Channel 56, on Friday announced the launch of a new Midtown Detroit studio at 5057 Woodward Ave. The studio is located in the landmark Maccabees Building, owned by Wayne State. The studio was once home to WXYZ-TV Channel 7 and the official birthplace of the iconic \"Soupy Sales Show.\" \"This WSU - DPTV studio collaboration creates an opportunity for us to bring TV production back to Midtown,\" said Matthew Seeger, interim dean of the Wayne State College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts. \"In addition to revitalizing the historic relationship that existed between Wayne State and WTVS through the late 1970s, the new studio will serve as a training ground for our media arts students, many of whom plan to stay in Michigan after graduation and become part of the state\'s growing TV and film industry.\"
