Can someone say Technical difficulties?

Yesterday I arrived at the studio around10:30am to help re-shoot Monday's show. We got the microphones to work but the flash drive containing the teleprompter was missing. In Broadcast it is a great practice to "roll with with punches" so we loaded the script onto cueprompter.com and held it above the real teleprompter. Austen was then able to still read the announcements without it looking too obvious what we had done. Considering our obstacles, it turned out ok. Then, as we began to capture the footage, the tape deck wasn't responding. We switched everything onto the other computer and yet again we couldn't get it to cooperate. It wouldn't capture. I had to go to class at noon so I left around 11:50am. I got back with Austen at 4:45 to check up and see how the show was going. The show was practically done. He just wanted to play around with the opening sequence and see what else we could do to spice it up. I left at 5:15pm.  Total hours for today: 1 hr. 50 min
