Kat...i spent my entire life in broadcasting...
pickin and singin on radio when i was 12/13 years old...then when tv came to our area,i was a junior in high school,in 1953..
got my first job working part-time on the studio production crew there til i got out of school..
got into the TV NEWS part of broadcasting in 1965!!!!'
it was a wonderful,exciting ride,but i retired in 1999,and left it to the younger whipper-snappers to handel all that stress!!!
do i miss it now!!!!
hmmmm....well....NO! hahahaha

Seems to be a step missing in the navigation?

From the page linked, click "Photos"
On the pic labelled "WBTV News Team" click "News Pics"
On the page that comes up click "View Gallery"

???????????????????

Of course, 'twouldn't be the first time I got lost trying to follow directions

- which is why "we" seldom stop to ask for directions.
