Teases
are done. My head feels like it’s about to explode. I’m playing catch up on all my school work, because I was live blogging all weekend.
Pressbox is filming in the studio and hogging master control, so graphics cannot be generated until they’re done. Jason is setting up live shot cams. I’m going to read for a while until Bri gets here to do graphics. I wonder where Mary is.
A dashing and bold adventure
In the post 24 Seven haze, I realized that I unintentionally learned a lot last week.
It takes a lot of hard work to produce entertaining television around the clock. I learned what that blob of cords in master control does. I also learned how to run the board while monitoring audio and adjusting cameras. Running back and forth between studio and MC is good cardio. ( :
Furthermore, the workload involved in maintaining an up-to-the minute blog was far more heavy than I had anticipated.
I emerge from this ground-breaking adventure an enlightened woman.

Day 4: Reflections on the 12-2 a.m. hours
This morning people kept calling in wanting me to wave at the camera or say their name on air. I guess it’s cool to see someone on TV wave to you? haha
Shout outs are cool. But calls with inquisitive topics which promote dialogue rock. When people called in wanting to talk about my career aspirations, that was even cooler.
I can now talk for hours and hours on end in broadcaster mode while propelling conversation. Thank you 24 Seven.
Loren, you should post some of those aim convos. The non-obscene ones.
When do we find out if we have broken the Guiness record?

It will all be broadcast on live TV. Live. 24/7. Hence the name: 24/ 7
Ch. 16 on cable. Ch.15 in the dorms. None of the above Ch. 9.
Come up to the station to say hi.
Bring us food and drink. We’re starving college students.
