The morning show got a little maudlin today, but they wrapped up in style.
Shows we shot last night:
And now we go into a spring-themed weekend. I’m going to sand wood, ride my bike and look at the flowers. How about you?
Spring might just be here.
Because, you know, middle of April is about when it should show up.
The Little 500 races were this weekend, which is how spring finally knows to make its appearance. I got to go to the men’s race on Saturday.
'Mericuh.
Let's race!#Little500 @iubloomington pic.twitter.com/mxXGx3Xl5L

Cutters win the 69th running of the men's #Little500. It was their 14th win. They were also the defending champions, as noted by their yellow kit. @IUBloomington pic.twitter.com/a3XuPskySO

(Spring, when it does make its grand old way here, can be rather nice. This means there might be more than a few flower photos in our near future.)
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:
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

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

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:

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.
