I really don't know what the person who proposed the idea has in mind, and I don't think that she has proposed the idea yet to TV people or sponsors, or even thought through the details of how it might work. She is at the point of "Open Space provides a way for people with conflicting views to talk together, let's have one around some tough political issues, and let's do it on television."
videoing an event has never been a problem in my experience -- but my gut tells me that a live TV hook-up could be "interesting." Might be worthwhile doing as an experiment -- but my prediction is that having it all live will encourage "grandstanding" particularly in an event focused on high voltage political issues. My inclination would be shoot first, edit and broadcast later. this would not mean much of a delay (instant edit etc). I also think it would make better TV. OS is so episodic (things happen when they happen) that having film crews just sitting and waiting could be a downer. But with a good edit, the story gets told. For an example, see the (excellent I think) tape USWEST did. Harrison
