If you’ll allow me to brag on some people

On #IUDay, let me brag on some people.@IUSTV's @btownfastclub — hosted by @julianna_merry and @GBailenson and produced by @BryceReifdotcom and @pdieterlen — just earned top show honors from @IASB_Indiana.#StudentMedia

Also at @IASB_Indiana, @grifgonzo was named top TV anchor. (I like to think it was for this move … )@IUSTVsports #IUDay #StudentMedia

Let me tell you about @M_Struewing14. She works on about four shows, anchoring, reporting, writing promos. She was a finalist in the @SPJRegion5 Mark of Excellence awards for a feature story about a circus school. @IUSTV @iustvnews #IUDay #StudentMedia 3/6 pic.twitter.com/evfbFjQlxe

These people, all the @IUSTV crews, all work hard. They have classes, jobs and lives, but they go into the field, into edit bays, the control room and the studio to learn their craft. Student media – of any variety, at every school – is special. #IUDay #StudentMedia 6/6 pic.twitter.com/vDACSrXEJj

New threads, new palmarés

I’m trying out a new look. What do you think?

Proudly wearing my new socks, which my friend, the thoughtful Dr. Ann Pegoraro sent me. (I just sent her socks, too, so that’s our thing now.) These are Baie d’Hudson socks, and they are fancy.

I doubt there’s ever been that much color between my shoes and slacks.

The sports crew is goofing off in the studio for my amusement:

Here's @Matt_Cohen_ and @m_dugan44 on the award-winning™ @IUSTVsports. Tune in. #gifdbykenny pic.twitter.com/5C3CCQvI04

And then getting down to business:

When you need someone to do marathon reads promoting all the awards your television station wins you call in @m_dugan44. @IUSTV @iustvnews @iustvsports pic.twitter.com/fWRs03J5qP

We had to record some extra promos tonight, since a bunch of our news people, have recently been nominated for awards from the Society of Professional Journalists. Michael Dugan did the promos, bragging on Andrew Lamparski’s general news nomination for a story about prescription drug abuse and Meredith Struewing’s feature news nomination for a local circus school. They’re both sophomores, so we’re going to get plenty more stories from them in the next few years.

But who’s counting?

Long day. Full of day things, and then evening things. Thankfully, Griffin and Meredith were riding the sports desk tonight:

Hello, from @grifgonzo, @M_Struewing14 and the whole gang at Hoosier Sports Nite, brought to you by @IUSTVsports. @IUMediaSchool #gifdbykenny pic.twitter.com/jm24ymM01D

Meredith is awesome and does it all, and she pulled double duty on the talk show.

She also anchored the news Tuesday night. Told ya, she is awesome:

Here’s another show they produced Tuesday night, Meredith was probably working in the control room somewhere:

They shot several more shows tonight, they’ll be online tomorrow and through the weekend.

And so, at 8 p.m. tonight, I got to go home. It was 9:15 p.m. Monday, 8:15 p.m. Tuesday, 5:00 p.m. Wednesday and tomorrow, promptly, at 5 p.m. on Friday. I’ve literally done this all day!

I used kilometers because it sounds better

A 12-hour day ended with a 90-minute television business meeting, but it started with this television interview.

‪My day started with setting up this interview this morning and just wrapped up with a business meeting.‬ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bring on Tuesday, because I've got something to say about that, too. ‬

A post shared by Kenny Smith (@kennydsmith) on Mar 25, 2019 at 6:59pm PDT

It was a long day, but there will be a longer one tomorrow.

This is a video about Saturday’s bike ride, the first one of the year. (I certainly was going slow enough to make one…)

Keeping my Game of Thrones Shakespeare theme alive …

I probably can’t do much better than that.

A few quick links

Shows the students did last night:

Another television show thing:

By the way … that's pretty much the starting point for @IUSTVNotTooLate, which makes it an interesting thing to watch. pic.twitter.com/XXMSe0Ba7k

It’s going to snow this weekend. Because that’s what March is for, I guess.
