Well, it goes back to the early days of local TV news..even before they used moving film in the field.<BR/><BR/>Photographers would go to the scene of news, shoot still shots, then the art department would glue them to poster board, put the board on a tripod and shoot the photo with a studio camera...thus the name, City Camera News.<BR/><BR/>Some of the news staff:<BR/>Marty Ross, Murry Stewart, Dave Martin, John Fitzgerald, Bob Franken, Pete Carey, Dave Buckel, Bill McKay, Neil Zurcher, Dick Goddard, Bob Wells, Howard Hoffman, Doug Adair.<BR/><BR/>City Camera become Newscenter 8 in 1976 with the switch from Playhouse Square to S. Marginal Rd.<BR/><BR/>S. Marginal was a square peg in a round hole from the beginning. The building was designed for film news gathering. When electronic news gathering (ENG) or minicams began common use in the late 70's all the film editing rooms were clumsily converted into little videotape editing rooms. To this day the ENG editing is scattered all over the building. Reporters cut their voice tracks right there in the rooms rather than in a sound booth.<BR/><BR/>The large film processing facility in the basement became, and is still used to this day, as a room for the engineers to fix equipment. Some news shooters have their lockers in there too.<BR/><BR/>Forgive me...if this is TMI (too much info).Don Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00523588470619084954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33436317.post-1157631348182965952006-09-07T08:15:00.000-04:002006-09-07T08:15:00.000-04:00wow...those logos bring back memories.
