Chuckle. How true Joanne, in a couple of instances I won't relate here, the reporter didn't need any help at all to screw it up rather hillariously. We, like all brodcasters, have outtakes from the air tapes that goes back nearly 25 years, since 3/4" umatic brought the ability to store such stuff in an economical manner. Its about 3 hours of sometimes embarrasing, often gut busting material when all spliced together. And we've had smart-asses do exactly that to us, quoting the other station while our mike and camera is in is face. Depending on the story contents revelancy, it may or may not make it past the air packages editing. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
