board met hours earlier. At 10 pm, it's just an empty building. Is there
really any point to that? Why not just stand in front of green screen and
key a picture behind the reporter? I guess it's because "we've got a remote
truck and by gawd we're gonna use it, even if there's nothing to see."

In the resurgency of Live-eye ENG type trucks in the early 1970's A
station in Nashville got two trucks. This station was very heavy news oriented and
duriong the 6 and 10 PM news nearly every night iof it was a slow night they
would have two live shots one from an unknown awards dinner and another from
the side of the road taking about weather conditions.
Anything to uses those trucks.
We have something similiar here in Birmingham now. This time its weather,
they all by the latest stuff and latest software. Then one station buys a
truck and call it "Storm watch". Now one station goes all radar weather with
severe weather and the other follow. We have four TV stations tel;ling us a
tornado may happen when I want to watch CSI or Boston Legal. Just scroll it
on the bottom.
