FLASH. It's a source on my switcher. A source I used to know about. That was back when people ran master control. Now it's any robutt's guess.Theoretically you can punch this up and the weather guy can create his own special report. He has a camera, microphone, lights, foxtrotting switcher!
Surely this is a union violation? Funny, at the end of the day they still need YOU to punch it up in Automation Control.
Surely there is some violation in taking an unknown source to air without confirming it actually works first? No? Really? Just take it? Live? On the air? To test it? OH, it just works. And you know that how?
Okay, that's my two and a half sense. I can see the camera, but I cannot check the audio. No worries. Put it on the air! News FLASH: It doesn't work. Thanks for that!
Let's make a list
- FLASH cam has no audio
- Technically, scary weather has already passed
- Phones ring off the hook with, "I want to speak with your supervisor"
- And "We don't care, give us Tiger!"
- While in special report MC has no way of audibly monitoring Network
- Half way through, automation lives up to its name
- Meaning on air picture changes even though no one asked it to
- And there's no way to punch back to a source you technically never left!
And then my boss calls and wants to know if it was captioned! How 'bout this can you read this!?
