P&T Interview: Morning’s Live

May 5th, 2009 joel

In early April, after we watched all of the preparations and then the live show from back stage, I had a chance to sit down and talk to the Mornings Live team from WSEE to talk about their show and how it affects their lives. Raychel, Ray, Bob and Megan share some of the special challenges of going to work at an early hour, and how they’ve embraced social media to have a strong connection with their audience. They take on some of the misconceptions people have about their work, and talk about the future of the show.

Given the 10 minute limitations of YouTube, we’ll have the entire unedited interview available as an audio podcast shortly. Enjoy!

Behind the Scenes: WSEE’s Mornings Live

April 25th, 2009 joel

This weekend we launch a new feature here at The Press and Tower called “Behind the Scenes.”

That very simple title describes what we’ll try to do; take a video camera and go “backstage” at Erie’s media outlets to allow viewers, readers, and listeners understand more fully what goes into the media products they consume. Consider it a local media version of the Science Channel show “How It’s Made.”

Our first video is of the WSEE Mornings Live program, which airs Monday-Friday 6:00 – 7:00 AM, with hosts Raychel Vendetti and meteorologist Ray Petelin. We also spent time with Director Bob Bohen and Videographer Megan Spencer. That’s it…four people to produce an hour-long live news program. Take a look.

We also sat down with this team for an interview about their jobs that I will post in the coming days. What they have to say is relevant considering the changes at WSEE and WICU that were announced since the taping.

Finally, if your media outlet would like to be considered for an upcoming Behind the Scenes feature, just e-mail me at joel@nataliemedia.com.
