A Studio in Flux

For the past several weeks, my workplace has been in transition. A major studio overhaul is underway.

A new set was definitely needed, and we are excited to see the finished product in October. But until then, we've had construction noise, paint smells, hallways cluttered with equipment, and a few creative endeavors to get the news on the air.

Our production crew created a makeshift set in the lobby, and it looks pretty good. However, this setup means more work everyday to make the show happen. The crew has to run cables, run mics, draw curtains, and put up signs to keep people out of the lobby. We can't make copies, page people, or even use the restroom between 4:00-4:30.

Then everyday, the crew has to take it all back down and lock it up before they go home. They will certainly be glad when things get back to normal.... only it'll be a shinier, more glitzy kind of normal.
