KDKA

KDKA is a news station here in the Pittsburgh area. KDKA is film in one of the buildings in downtown Pittsburgh. The cameras there are robotic and only one person needs to control them. Since the robotic cameras came in, a lot of people lost there jobs. The meteorologist does there own script and maps.

Meteorologist has 3 different screens. One underneath the camera and one one the side of the green screen. The screens help the person to see where to point at when they are talking. Everyone else reporting has a script and has a screen of what they are going to say. The speed of the words they are reading is different depending on who’s reading it. The screen helps them to look at the camera without looking at the papers on the desk.

There is a person who tells people how many minutes until they are on TV and that person ques when the people should talk on TV. There is a control room to control the programs and to control the sounds and pictures. There is also a producers room where a lot of the producers work on the length of the video and edit videos to keep the time frame.
