New stuff, and a funny story

DMA's, station gossip...lot's o new stuff

so originally when I was going to post this it was right when the DMA's shifted...H'vill stayed steady in the early 80's.

Other news our morning and midday anchor is leaving, weekend sports guy is leaving.

Justing anchored the soon to be gone 4pm show today and yesterday...didn't see it today but he did awesome on Tuesday.

Story Time:
Demeaning the station? not purposely..this was just too funny not to tell. So the mast on our live unit #42 takes a FREAKING long time to get up (haha, immature but needs some viagra?). Tuesday at the courthouse it took a full hour and half to raise, WHAT?! it worked about half up for the 5 SOMEHOW and by 6 we had an even better signal...by the time we were done it had finally reached the top, nice. Try 2 for the 10pm took it a little less, a full hour.
After editing today, this once agian was the only truck availible, it was 25 minutes out as we headed down the mountain. At 15 out (of the 10pm) I started raising. As Justing was pulling out camera and tripod, I dumbfounded him by jumping on TOP of the van and manually PULLING the mast up. As he stood looking up mouth open saying "I didn't know you could do that"..I can't help but thinking I didn't either, but it was worth a shot right? How else was it going to get to hieght?
By darned, I didn't miss my shot..by 2 out we were set up and established.
