Hitting the WALL

This week was a rough one for not only myself but the whole campus, we all had finals. My finals weren't that bad because I only had two. The reason it was a rough week was because I had to do a 24 source lit review on what makes a good Sportscast. Not only did I have to do that I was on the work schedule for 40 hours and it was the first week at the new station. I had both of my finals on wednesday and I worked from 8 to 2:30. As soon as I got off worked I hustled down to the field house at the college for my capstone final which was with Titan Treverse like at the beginning of the semester. We did a few exercises like the tank and driver game. We had a obstacle course that was not a lot of fun but we got through it. After that it was time to climb the rock wall. I had never climbed a rock wall and I wasnt scared but I was just tiny bit nervous. I am not sure why but after flying up the wall I realized why I was nervous. Once you reach the top its time to come back down and that is pretty scarry when you just drop 10 feet at a time and your not sure if your even going to stop. All and all it was a fun experiece and I would love to it again. I also finished my lit review on Friday night the day before it was due. I didnt think I would be able to find 24 sources but I actually found 26. There was alot of good information that I will use towards my final project. Some of the information was kind of shocking because it talked about the 6 o'clock sportscast as dying segment. This makes me think what are sports directors leading with in their shows and why are they loosing viewers. So now next semester when Titan Town Sports starts up again, each week I am going to make sure that were hitting what our viewers want. What is it that our viewers want? Well after all the research I have found they want to see local stories not national. They want feature storys on athletes they might know and they want to get to know the athletes. So next semester get ready for a better and more improved Titan Town Sports.
