Show Blog: Saturday, May 31st

Here is a clip that Dawn shot of Matt calling and switching during the 10 o'clock half hour.



10:30 a.m.
Well, we had a couple of rocky moments. Bruce's mic fell off. That's why you couldn't hear him during his first forecast. Also, we still ended up having issues with the "Gadget" guy despite our quick hustle. We were all set to go, and realized he still didn't have a mic on. So Dawn quickly ran up and mic'd him seconds before he was on the air.

Then he went longer than expected since his "talk to type" trick didn't work the first time, and it ended up costing Bruce time at the end of the show. That's live tv, you just have to roll with whatever is thrown at you.

We'll try again tomorrow. - Matt


9:52 a.m.
It's Matt again. Dawn is wrapping up her stint as TD/Director. I'll be taking the seat in just a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, here is a clip of Dawn doing her thing as TD and director during the 9:30 portion of the show.



9:37 a.m.
It's Matt. Dawn is currently switching and directing, so it gives me a chance to blog a little. We have everything set up in studio b for the "gadget guy". If you are into electronic gadgets, stay tuned for that segment coming up in the 10 o'clock half hour. I'll have to check them out after the show if he is still here. I love that kind of stuff. Also coming up at 10 a.m. I will be switching and directing.

9:13 a.m.
This is Brooke, filling in for our regular producer. Great timely topic coming up this morning... a Doctor from Robison Memorial is in studio today, to talk about summer kids safety. Catch the interview at about 9:17.

By the way, here is Kim during a package with a quick wave to all of you in blog land. This is the view of Kim and Jeff that I have throughout the course of the show. I see them on TV like the home viewer only with backstage access.



9:07 a.m.
Hey, it's Lauren. Like Matt said, it's been a busy morning. Caitlin's not here today. I went into studio B before the show and shot some footage of the guest in there. He showed me the things he is going to show today. I got to play with his Mac Air laptop a little.

Here is that video of "Gadget Guy's" setup as shot buy our intern Lauren...



8:45 a.m.
Good Morning, it's Matt. Wow, busy morning. I just found out that one of our guests needs much more space and setup time than we had anticipated. Due to this, we had to light up studio b, white balance 3 more camera, get microphones ready, and a demo table set up all in about 10 minutes and be ready for the show to start right at 9. Gotta love live tv.
