[QuadList] Off topic: WTVJ remote truck

David...
 
Been there a FEW times!!  
 
Yes, the tape truck, and the production "expando" made up  the
operation.
 
We were the CBS affiliate until Jan 1 1989, when we switched  to NBC.
The station was bought by GE/NBC mid-1987 but remained  with
CBS for over a year!!  A very unusual  situation...    An NBC O&O,
but a CBS affiliate!!  ;-)
 
The HS100B was back at the studio!!
 
TNX for the flashback!!

For the  WTVJ guys here on the list, here are two pictures from the  
Orange  Bowl (Dolphins vs ?) AFC Football game. Approx. 1982. I think  
WTVJ  was a CBS affiliate then, but NBC used their trucks (one was for   
production i.e. switching, video, audio, engineering) and the other   
was the tape truck, if I recall correctly.

I am not sure if we were  the "A" game that weekend for the network.  
May have been.

I  think we were totally off of the HS 100 by then. We did the slow-mo   
for the game on the VPR 2's.

Bill(?) Vacarro (from NY) is with me  inside. Bonnie (?) from NY is  
outside in front of the truck with  me.

I recall is being hotter than xxxx that weekend. Other shots I  have  
yet to scan show the crew by the pool.
