From: Sam in Highland Heights
Q: I am an avid watcher of Channel 3 News, and also have an interest in the World of Broadcasting. Every now and then I visit your Director's Cut Blog, and enjoy reading it...I recall a few months back (January) you said that you would post a video of behind the scenes of a newscast. I was wondering if you still plan on doing it...Another question I had was will WKYC ever stream their newscasts online (like WMAQ in Chicago)?
A: Do I get extra pay for two part questions? The answer to your first question about the behind the scenes look at the news. Yes, I am still planning on doing that... When, I am not sure. There are some legal issues regarding using video on the web that may appear during a show I use - which makes the project a little more time consuming than I can get involved with right now since we are in the middle of Indians season and all we do for Sportstime Ohio too. But it's still on the agenda..
Secondly, we are not planning on streaming our newscast at the moment. Again, for the same reason. We would have to pay additional fees to rebroadcast video on the web and right now there isn't a way to justify the additional cost with limited return. But, it will happen.. When, is the best question.
