WCIX Brickell Newsroom, 12-83, Behind The Scenes with Andy Leopold

Here's a rare look at the old Channel 6 newsroom, in that funny old round building on Brickell Avenue. The on-camera dude is sports anchor Andy Leopold, who conducted these impromptu interviews for our annual Christmas skit reel. Appearing on-camera are anchor Barbara Sloan (who didn't feel like talking to Andy), videotape editor Gary Slawitschka, director Curtis Bivins, assignment editor Jan Hollingsworth, and reporter Amanda Moss. Look carefully and you can spot producer Mike Villafana at the typewriter, and there are even brief shots of yours truly walking in and out of the newsroom while Andy is speaking with Amanda. Also notice that custodian Guy Thompson is holding the album cover for "The Brickell Hillbillies". We had just finished shooting part of that skit reel segment moments earlier. (I posted "The Brickell Hillbillies" a while back.) Fun times, and a fun place to work back in those days. For more, check out the Say Six! blog: http://saysix.blogspot.com/
