C-SPAN's Local
Content Vehicle - Mobile Production Vehicle
Creative Mobile Interiors finished three of these Ford Transit
Connect vehicles for C-SPAN, in the summer of 2010. These
'LCV's are roaming the country in search of unique, local news
stories. Leading their charge is the C-SPAN
Digital Bus, also
done by CMI. When a unique story is discovered, these
little work-horses become much more than a desk on wheels.
Equipped with state-of-the-art web and production technologies
(and on-board journalists), the LCV is capable of creating on
the spot content; no matter where the vehicle is.

The
LCV's act as more than just a mobile office, they are also
mobile marketing vehicles that advertise as they move.
This is done through graphics and a vinyl wrap that likens these
vehicles to their older, and much bigger, brother (the Digital
Bus). |

The Ford Transit
is the perfect canvass for a vehicle like this. Small
enough to drive like a car, but big enough to house (and
hide) all of the technologies and equipment it possesses.
The interior features a desk and pull out chair. The
desk gets larger with a bamboo flip-up extension - matching
the rich materials of the C-SPAN bus. This space is
perfect for editing pieces on the road, and for storing the
hand held cameras that are used to film local content.
