NBCUniversal’s (NBCU) Stamford Media Center (SMC), located in the heart of downtown Stamford, Connecticut, is home to three of NBCU’s highly-rated daytime talk shows – “Maury,” “The Jerry Springer Show” and “The Steve Wilkos Show” – and the new home to “Trisha,” NBCU’s latest weekday talk show starring UK television personality Trisha Goddard. NBCUniversal relocated its three shows to Connecticut in April of 2009 as a direct result of the state’s film, television and digital media tax credit program.

As part of Connecticut’s “Hollywood East” business community, which includes NBC Sports, NBC Olympics, ESPN and Blue Sky Studios, SMC has established itself as a job creator and revenue generator in the state, employing approximately 280 people, and attracting an average of 53,000 people to downtown Stamford during each season of production. Approximately 70% of SMC’s live audiences travel from out-of-state to visit and spend money in Connecticut. In concert with Governor Malloy’s efforts to encourage young, talented professionals to pursue career opportunities in Connecticut, SMC often recruits recent graduates to join its experienced production team.

In addition to SMC’s economic impact, SMC employees and the hosts of its three shows – Maury Povich, Steve Wilkos and Jerry Springer – have become actively involved with local businesses and charitable organizations in Connecticut and in the Stamford community.
