Ken
has worked with Broadcast Rentals for about 10 years.
"We started working with Broadcast Rentals when they opened
in San Diego in the late 90’s. We were on a shoot
using camera gear supplied by another large rental company.
As circumstances had it, the camera we were renting developed
a problem and the rental company could not send out a
replacement, since literally everything they had was out
on a huge job that day. Needless to say I was not happy.
I called Broadcast Rentals… and they rushed right
up and replaced the other camera that went bad from the
other company. It was good timing on everyone’s
part and they really helped us out in a pinch and since
that point we have rented from Broadcast Rentals."
"Rather than “coming to the rescue”,
Broadcast Rentals has always been prepared for virtually
anything. There are any number of rental houses on the
west coast who can supply cameras…but Broadcast
Rentals always goes that extra step and brings more than
what is needed as backup. There is never a mad rush back
to the shop if something goes wrong. They always bring
a back up camera, a back up deck and on rare occasions
if there is an issue, there is always a back up. There
has never been a late night emergency because Broadcast
Rentals thinks well enough ahead to cover any emergencies."
"Customer Service is huge with Broadcast Rentals.
They are very responsive and have great people and help
out as much as they possibly can. Broadcast Rentals has
always focused on how they service the client and their
customer service is fantastic. The equipment is well maintained
and the service is there when you need it."
"As far as the formats that we are using, we shoot
mostly Standard Def on DVcam format. As soon as our internal
clients have a need for HD, we will definitely call on
Broadcast Rentals because of their vast array of High
Def Cameras and support gear. Our favorite cameras are
the D30 and 570s for multi camera shoots."

Jim
knows the value of good gear and good people. "In my business,
reputation is everything. Some of the credit for my reputation
has to go to Ozzie and Broadcast Rentals. When I am hired
to shoot a high profile interview or a major sporting
event, it is because of my track record with the network.
They know that they can count on me to get the job done.
Likewise, I count on Ozzie to supplement my inventory
if I am short on cameras, lighting or audio gear. I know
that the equipment from Broadcast Rentals is in top notch
condition and that his people are totally into making
sure that my needs are met".
"When I first came to Phoenix, I literally had no
gear. I met Ozzie at a rental house just before braking
out on his own...and I was impressed by his sincere effort
to insure that I got what I needed and when I needed it.
I have been renting from Broadcast Rentals since their
inception. Even with the amount of equipment that I now
have, it is impossible to keep up with the different formats
and cameras available and that is why I count on Broadcast
Rentals. They have bailed me out countless times....when
a producer asks for a particular item, Ozzie and his crew
are there every time".
Ozzie responds, ..."Jim Farrell has built Crew West from
scratch much the same way that we have built Broadcast
Rentals. We buy good gear. We hire better people. We provide
the best in terms of customer service. We have been fortunate
to have loyal customers like Jim and his team move us
forward over the last fifteen years. We couldn't have
done it without them!"
