Confusion

This week was kinda of easy because I didn't have to anchor and we didn't have much content for the show. Garrett anchored for his first time and did a pretty good job, even though it never aired on TV. This weeks show was live in New Castle for Light Up Night. Our producer wasn't sure if they would be able to fit the sports segment in because it was a live parade. Garrett was kind of upset and I would be to if it was my first time anchoring but he has to realize that in a real life News segment sports is the usually the first thing to get cut. A news director would rather take time away from sports than from weather or the news.

But even though it didn't air Garrett did good and we had a lot of readers because the hounds were away and we didn't have a game of the week. We did have titan highlights with a few readers about soccer wrapping up their playoff games and a few previews of what was coming up this weekend. One thing we previewed was the Buzz Ridl Classic which is a Basketball tournament that the Titans host every year. There was a local soccer tournament that also happened today that we previewed. That was about all we had and sports ended up being two minutes and thirty seconds which would have been perfect for a commercial break or for the open of light up night.

I sent a crew today to cover the local soccer tournment that was held at Wilmington High School. I will make it into a package and the main point of the pack is "what does this mean for the kids." I had them interview the players and find out what this tournment ment for them and also some of the parents. They also got some highlights of the game. I feel this package is perfect for not only our sports segement but also for this allstar game because it is the first one ever.
