Yesterday, July 19th, 2017, the Interactive Multimedia Workshop went to the KDKA News at Noon, met Kristine Sorensen, Ron Smiley, and got a tour of the entire KDKA building.

As watching Sorensen, we learned about how the producers work to perfectly time things, how the people in the control room work to get everything done as fast as they could and we got to see how it all worked together.

We saw the control room and how they put all of the screens together, how they make something go live, how some of the buttons and everything worked together to make the show and to make all other KDKA based television shows.

We saw the producer and Ron Smiley and Kristine Sorensen all working together and telling people whats going on in the world right now. Breaking news, stories, weather, just about everything.

We got to view the cubicles and see the stuff that they all do together to work and get the stories done and broadcasted.

We got to see how Ron Smiley works with all of the technology and everything that he has to do. We got to see him work with the Green Screen as well as being able to see him at work at his desk.

We got a sneak peek at how the teleprompters work and we got to see just how it all pieced together to form the show. We saw how it worked with only ONE of the anchors, taking the place of both, who one of the two anchors wasn’t able to be there.
