BEHIND THE SCENES

WHIO TV

NEWS CENTER 7

yes, we know...

golf on after church on sundays

brunch with the family

cleaning the house & mowing the lawn

but the weekends are a little bit different for some of us who work for the news.

that's because the news does not sleep...

to get the show on air...

we have a full crew at all times, gathering & writing news.

this Sunday morning, editor Bret Rhymer is already hard at work.

Charlie Van Sant from the Breaking News Team is listening to scanners on the Assignment Desk...

(btw, dont you love last names with "van" in them?)

Breaking News Team First Responder, Drew Simon, is ingesting video he just shot from a story

Producer, Kristen Petty, is already getting the show ready for me to look over!

Master Control is already working...

Our director, Rodney, is getting ready to put in his codes (dont know how he does his job, really)!

Michael Franz with the Breaking News Team just shouted, "uh oh, we got coupons today"

Since we're a part of Cox Media, along with Dayton Daily News,

we get newspapers delivered to our assignment desk =)

He's monitoring breaking news in our area.

Last weekend, I had the pleasure to work Producer Kristi Derocher (top)

and Producer Amy Frederick (bottom) (Erica also pictured)

Okay! back to work now! Wonder what the news will bring us today...
