This week marks a homecoming for talk show host Donna Drake, as she launches Drake Media Studios in the former CBS/WLNY TV 10/55 studio in Melville, where her New York media career began in 1997.

The 3,000-square-foot space will serve as the new home for The Donna Drake Show, featuring state-of-the-art upgrades, including grid-lit studios, green screens, a full-service podcast studio, and renovated guest areas. The facility will also be available for film, TV, radio, and streaming content production.

“I never imagined I would return to the site where I started my television career,” Drake said. “Expanding The Donna Drake Show and creating a companion studio, especially during a global pandemic, is beyond my wildest dreams.”

The Donna Drake Show airs Saturdays at 6:30 a.m. on CBS’s WLNY and is also available on Dish, DIRECTV, and multiple streaming platforms.
