Early Days Tour Of KRWG-TV

with me their general departments secretaries mary courtney and when the lawson very over here at the front desk and when to back your windows dr hanky ok lucky to meet dr frank parish is the head of the department of journalism and mass communications their new mexico state university dr hertz is ahead of this apartment what are some of the things that you see as advantages to students and working in an operation white haired beauty tv of course one of the gang we have used our radio and television stations as practical i am smart we've either great advantages to this service is a proportional department or weeks but first things familiar to perform as professionals that we find that they are having this type of training are graduates are much more employable than they would be if they were involved in a typical academic study by providing partial inspiration for many years there were

only five of their employer the world i like to find this a marvelous experience in an inn in working and what i actually want to do like the show as an example it is true we find our students were doing exactly the jobs here in their training experience will be done when they leave here in a professional operation that we consider ourself to be punished broadcast operation would you also well thank you very much for talking with us and that i think will go down now and be their general manager care the view gee mr james crime mr bratton i was wondering if you explain to our viewers some the differences that you notice between working in this instead station and in a station as professional athlete you're thinking

i think for someone to be aware of the fact that probably ninety nine percent of the television stations around the comparable commercial or noncommercial do not have a student steps of any kind they might have one or two students working on a part time basis but not in the same sense that we do your job one and two we are unique situation of course in that our station operation is closely integrated with an academic program here at university which train students in broadcast production and we feel that tel twenty two offers a unique opportunity to students in the department to learn on the job skills and eight and operating broadcast situation that serve students would not have

if they were simply to receive training outside of the station environment of course the fact that we have students working in the station is also an advantage to the station operation and that we have positions held which would not otherwise be killed because of a limited budget and so we have to count heavily on students to perform some of the key jobs at the station and where we're grateful for this working relationship there are however some disadvantages which should be mentioned in all candor one of these is that said because station because students rather common goal in now the program we do not have a steady labor supply of students that are old that a consistent level because of his turnover we have to train students

that are coming into the program to do the jobs that need to be done and this is obviously a disadvantage okay thank you very much mr garden i think we'll go in now and meet some of our engineers on the engineering shop which is in the north wanting of alcohol before we get to engineering will be passing through a car shop very reason we don't want to set set to see and care and takes place this is the engineering shop where many of the repairs of broken equipment take place very carefully this is also the office of the engineers who help keep us on the air the other ones and take care of the transmitter supervise studio operations in june to make sure the city that everything isn't working conditions are over here at his desk as howard wagner he's in charge of studio operations here care of it and early might seem again later on that for now i

think we should have gone out to steal way so we can see what howard is actually in charge of here we are in studio a steal is one of the largest coal or studios of the rocky mountain west and put a lot of pretty good use rather hear care w g looking around the studio you can see a couple of the sets had have been set up will be used one of them for instance a and monday nights the one over there in the corner is up for the record i'm in your show then now over here is news you twenty two the smoky sienna and that's the hair color new show which is on every weekday night at six pm ricardo was on a nine pm on monday nights and then now the rest of the studio space is reserved for other sets which you can see at this time for instance the prism set which is right out there in the middle and there you can see it now what you'll see at later on in the show as is production control

where a show like prisoners he focuses controlled from and sitting at the switching panel as art director june fifth one and sitting next to him is our assistant director michael fitzpatrick both of them hold other positions here care the beauty mr fick when is the production manager and mr fitzpatrick is operations manager what are some of the things that go on behind the scenes at carrot of eugene long run television is one of those things that you can do with just one person takes several people and so there's a lot that goes on your home state for example if your body and at the present time out in the studio which he saw few moments ago empty the center has been set up in the finishing touches are being put on the lighting that involves several people when we actually get the show rolling beside myself i'll have an associate director is matt an audio man who is working with the audio board here in my lap there'll be a cameraman on each of the two cameras that will be

working with another former leader whose job it is to do the talent to tell people on the floor how much time is left to keep cables on the way out a multitude of things to make the titles move up and down the screen tvs show in addition to that there are more people is a law called the master control or those responsible for putting our show actually on the air the scheduled time and there's also an engineering staff some of the men who have to take care of things like getting videotapes on like videotaped stings started blocking all the technical investments on the cameras than one of the engineers right now it's saving our cameras or making the technical investments or color or a picture of brightness and so forth for the show will be doing here in men's robot find in just few moments he will

move those cameras away from trying at and we'll begin the start of the show and maybe the easiest way for the viewer to see what goes on behind the scenes is for them to watch as we get the show started ok roy you never know when the cameras are really pleased and let's get mike's on bread and irene please we have about two minutes till show which changes the opening tape on please at our pre check a crawl ok cameras are immature open
