One of the hardest things I have had to direct coverage of.

WCCO Mid Morning
Very jam-packed 9am show. Live interviews with network reporters both in-studio and via satellite, a live demonstration, and various other guests. Plus news and weather.
ELC Control room with a Robo operator, Audio operator, and Floor Director. (Plus a trainee shadowing me.)
Special edition of the 9am Mid Morning newscast live from Target field. I directed this back in the studio using ELC automation. I had to communicate with 3 photographers in the field via the intercom who were acting as the camera operators, and the Ops. Manager who was acting as a floor/assist at the live event. As well as to my small crew in the control room consisting of an audio operator, a robotics operator for the small in-studio news segment, and a floor director/teleprompter operator in the local studio.
WCCO Mid Morning
Show directed via ELC automation with manual audio board control and a robotics operator. We had some interesting things happen during the show, such as a guest on a remote connection who couldn’t hear us.
