I doubt it! :-) My stint was at the PBS affiliate at Penn State U.,
WPSX-TV. We called them "Duty Directors" and I did that for a brief
while. But there was also so much down time between production that we
spent a lot of time just watching the network feeds of shows we were
recording for later broadcast. so, yeah, lots of Sesame St. and
Electric Co. The most disconcerting experience was one morning about 7
AM as I sat at the production-control audio console, nursing my first
cup of coffee after a /very/ late night, I glanced up at the 20" Conrac
network monitor to view a Cesarean section being performed, close ups
and all. It did /nothing/ to help the hangover.

Why are builders afraid to have a 13th floor but book publishers aren't
afraid to have Chapter 11?
