About CBS Studios

The CBS Broadcast Center, located at the northern edge of the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood in Manhattan, is an 800,000 square foot world-class television production facility that includes column-free studios ranging in size from 3200 square feet to 8256 square feet, each with a dedicated control room. The facility opened as a CBS Production Center in August 1964 after moving from the Grand Central Terminal Building and other locations throughout Manhattan.

Much of the early production was News driven with anchors such as Walter Cronkite, who was the CBS Evening News anchorman for 19 years. Since then, it has been the production home for live news and sports programming, soap operas, sitcoms, prime time dramatic presentations, talk shows, court themed shows, and children's programming.

Today, the CBS Broadcast Center is the home for CBS News Streaming programing, CBS Sports and Sports Network WCBS-TV and several other corporate and third-party productions. It is also the distribution center for the CBS Television Network.

The campus also contains additional support spaces such as a scenic design area, audience holding areas, dressing rooms, wardrobe storage and prep rooms, multi-station make-up and hair rooms, a multipurpose rehearsal space, 24-hour per day national/international distribution and commercial integration facility, a commissary, and on-site production office space. It is the only television production facility in New York that is truly full-service, able to provide assistance with set design, installation, lighting, propping, production, post-production and distribution.

About SocRoc NYC

James Christie grew up in the rolling hills of the Oley Valley, a rural town in Pennsylvania that was so small that it didn't have a football team. An active little boy, James' parents signed him up for the youth soccer team, and at his first practice a deep and undying passion was ignited. As James kicked ball after ball against the barn wall with his brother, soccer became the main focus of his life. Playing for his tiny high school, James began to make a name for himself in the sport and gain athletic recognition on a larger platform. James was named a High School All-American and called up to the Under-Twenty United States National Team, received a full Division 1 scholarship to play at Philadelphia University where he made the All-Mid Atlantic Team, gained his National C Coaching License, and landed a professional contract with the Baltimore Spirit.

As a professional player, James was nagged by chronic injuries and his body forced him into an early retirement. He returned to Philadelphia and began weight-lifting to rehabilitate his knee. Loving the results, James discovered a second passion-personal training. At the time, he shifted his focus from soccer to learning all he could about fitness and began the arduous process of earning the sought-after NSCA's Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Designation.

Still James missed the excitement of professional sports and as his twenties came to an end, he packed his bags and moved to New York City with the hope of becoming a famous actor. He figured that personal training would be a great side hustle while be made the show biz rounds. But when one of his personal training clients learned he had been a professional soccer player, she convinced him to teach a class to her son and his friends. With a bag of soccer balls, and a few cones, James met the group of six kids in Central Park and the first-ever SocRoc class was born. Something special happened that afternoon-James' love of soccer was reborn in the thrill he felt when teaching the children.

For two decades, James has grown SocRoc into one of Manhattan's most unique, high-quality programs for kids, expanding from Central Park into other parks, playgrounds, daycare centers, and private and public schools throughout the five boroughs. SocRoc employs over 30 coaches and teaches over 200 classes a week. In 2021, James enlisted the help of his sister, Heather Christie, to take over as CEO and Director of Operations so he could concentrate on coaching development. Together, they have exciting plans for SocRoc's future, recently launching BBRoc Basketball Classes For Kids and Classes For Kids With Disabilities.

It's paramount to James, Heather, and the entire SocRoc team to create a boutique, hands-on, positive soccer and fitness experience for all. They pride themselves in delivering unparalleled service.

We hope you'll make SocRoc a part of your family's life. See you on the pitch!
