… Here’s What’s New …
This is a composite of three WFEC morning newscasts with Mike Scott. They were all broadcast within a 95 minute period, so it gives us a chance to hear how Mike juggled the available content and re-wrote each newscast to sound fresh.
What is hard to believe is how difficult it was to work with the audio processing (and I was as bad about insisting on it as anyone.)
You will hear the reverb and the constant clackity-clack of the teletype underscoring constantly sucked and pumped. I suspect that Mike didn’t listen to the off-air monitor, but instead monitored himself without all the noise.
Mike moved to California and KAFY not long after this aircheck, which preceded the election of Jimmy Carter by just a few days. We can hear that the Democrat Governor had the bully pulpit. The audio on the local school issue may have been generated in-house.
