Bob's First Banter

Hello. And welcome to my blog. We're all starting the New Year around here (KTAB) with the opportunity to have a new style of two-way communication with you. Of course, television is just one-way. You're watching at home, and I'm hoping you're paying attention. Often it seems you're paying attention when we make an error (which hopefully doesn't happen too often.) That's when you call, which all of a sudden makes it two-way communication. We want to hear about that, of course, so we don't make the same mistake twice.
Actually, I'm amazed every time we do a newscast. With reporters and photographers gathering news all day, based on assignments from the assignment editor, then bringing back the video and the facts to write and edit stories, which the producer organizes into a newscast, which the director, audio operator, graphics designer, and studio crew put on the air, live, with the anchors on set, and with only a hiccup or two.... its a complement to each individual who spends her/his day getting a newscast together for you. Weather and sports are working at the same time to build their segments of the broadcast. And it comes your way at 6 and 10pm, plus our other casts at 5:30am, noon, and 5pm. And the developing new world of news delivery right here on the internet.
I'm wishful that your Christmas and New Year holidays were what you hoped they would be.
Until next time here, or on KTAB, Happy New Year.
