ABC 7 Experience

It was a fun experience to see the studio of a local news station. What was interesting to learn was how many people it takes to produce a live broadcast! About 60, I believe. It made me wonder what it's like to be a part of the 60 crew members. The cameras and technology was overwhelming. When we went into the rooms of monitors and buttons, either the main room and the smaller one, I felt like I was a kid.

Looking at the multitude of buttons and screens I felt like pressing every single one. Listening to our guide explain what the producer and director would do in these rooms felt exhilarating and terrifying. I imagined myself in either position and feeling so inexperienced. I'd probably make a mess of things and have a panic attack. 😖 Nevertheless, it was a cool experience to see and hear the process, talent and parts a business like ABC7 needs to function.
