Week 4 Reflection

This week when I was in the back room with all the behind the scenes people I realized how important communication is in this business. They are constantly talking to the broadcasters about when they're on air, if there is something they need to know, breaking news, problems, etc. When I was in the back they actually came across a problem where Dan's earpiece wasn't working and they needed to tell him he had to do something different with his broadcast and he couldn't hear them so it was HECTIC! They were freakin out and had to run somebody over there to tell him what to do and I wasn't even a part of it and I was stressed out. I guess I never really thought about all the people that have to communicate in order to make the broadcast perfect. One of the guys was in the back directing the people directing the broadcasters...haha it was just a cycle of people communicating and I was so nervous to talk the whole time because I didn't want to interfere and have somebody not hear something. It was pretty funny. But, I definitely learned that you are not just on your own in broadcasting...it is a huge group of people who all work together to make one broadcast perfect!!
