On the air

It is audition season at IUSTV. Out with the graduating, and in with the new, basically. It’s a fun time, but an emotional time. It is a time of repetitive scripts and camera shots, and a time of surprises.

Also, we’ve been nurturing a funny little rivalry between two of the entertainment shows. The morning show and the late night crowd have been putting little jokes past one another and recording little tongue-in-cheek promos about one another.

Well. Today, the host of Not Too Late jumped into the auditions of the Breakfast Club. He sat in the control while the crew went through the last segments of the real show and a few auditions. He wrote, on the spot, three minutes of jokes for a new script, and put them before the co-host of the morning show. They were all quite good, and she made us vow to never show it anywhere. She didn’t, however, say anything about gifs.

Entertainment, news, sports, it’s always fun watching them work and giving them a hand. Anyway, here are the last episodes the various crews have produced:

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:

And then getting down to business:

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:

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.

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.
