The 8:25 morning news update at WMGM-TV 40, the NBC station in South Jersey in 1989. A one man band running audio, the switcher, tapes and graphics with a very short headset cable. In the studio: Susan Houseman, 2 cameras locked down and no floor director. The anchor ran the teleprompter. Note the Commodore Amiga computer for all on-air graphics happening on the fly.
Oh. My. Goodness.
Wow.
I suppose after a few weeks (months? years...?) it becomes an easy science. But still...
