Internship #15
This picture is of another radio studio in my buidling but if there wasn't any of the technology in this room the radio station that would usually be playing wouldn't be anymore because everything in this room controls what goes on in the booth where the people actually do the radio broadcast. Just like I how a tv show isn't anything without its director a radio show isn't anything with out their sound tech controlling everything.
This picture is of the robotic cameras that we use for the show. These cameras are faster than any human which makes it easier to switch from host to host or to the guest. These cameras are a good use for us because it makes it easier on the director so he wouldn't be telling some other guy to move back do this do that, he can just do what ever angle he wants by just pushing buttons.
This picture is of the production room where the director does his magic. In here is where the director contols the robotic cameras and changes the angels of the cameras. It is also where I work during the live broadcast and what I do in here is set up the graphics for the guests and the hosts. Then I take it to air which takes it to the director so he can well put it on air.
This is a picture of Director Chris Janikas f the Big Biz Show. He is the "brains" of the Big Biz Show because he deals with all of the technical stuff and if we go out to a convention he is the one who gets all the equipment set up so that the show would still run even though we aren't in the studio.
Ths is a picture of the two Co-Hosts of the Big Biz Show, and besides the director without the hosts of the show there really wouldn't be a show. Sully the one on the right is the "Money Guy" he is the one who mostly talks about the stocks and other things that are important whereas Russ the one on the left is the "Funny Guy" and he is the comedian who makes jokes to make others laugh but he is still serious when they talk about important stuff.

Internship #11
The highlight of my week was meeting the CEO and Founder of my favorite snowboarding brand Bitchboards. The challenges was trying to help my mentor find replacements for people who couldn't make it on the show. I think that meeting Alex Masterson, the CEO and Founder of Bitchboards, was the memorable thing because I actually got to hear what it was that started her buisness and I got to take pictures with her and some of the boards.

Internship #8
I have gained new appreciations for directors of news stations and etc. because I found out that alot of the show is put on them because if they didn't have them there would be no show. The way that I developed this new appreciation was because I saw how hard the director of the Big Biz Show worked and how he was stressed out because everyone would go to him to make sure that the show was good.
Internship #7

the highlight of my week was seeing some clips and finding more about the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards shows from a movie critics view. The challanges I faced was helping my mentor find replacements or fill-ins for guests who couldn't make it to the show. I worked well with others being that all the people that talk alot it was kind of intimidating on my first day but then being with them for a while of christmas break i started to talk alot more. I saw people freak-out badly when something went wrong, and it was something that I did not expect because I didn't realize that it was that important but it was becuase the show is live and so we could not just go back and edit it. I would describe my first week of internship as fun because I got to do something that I had never tried before and that it was a great and rewarding experience.

Internship #6
-How does the schedule of the studio affect her personal life at home and free time.
-How does being a military wife affect the outcome of her buisness life (since she still moves around how does she still stay in contact with the studio).
-How did she get where she is today.
-How did she find the two Co-Hosts for the show and how did she begin working with them.
I would like to try and get the interview with my mentor on Friday 1/22 since it is kind of the laid-back day at the studio.

Internship #4
1. What academic skills could you use on the job?
There are not really any academic skills that I can use towards my job because it is mostly just reseaching accounts and pr and aa firms and pulling up graphics for the live broadcast.
2. What forms of collaboration could you use in a project?
I can collaborate with my co-workers by asking questions when i need help and also helping them out when they are in need of help. I can collabarte by sharing ideas and thoughts about what we could do to make the broadcast better and run smoothly.
3. What technical skills can you use at your internship?
Since I work with computers and graphics alot it helps me, since I do the graphics for the live broadcast. So, instead of coming in and having the technical producer/director sit me down and teach me step-by-step how do it, I already know how to do the graphics which saves the co-workers in the studio time to get other stuff for the broadcast set up.
4. What new things can you learn while working at your site?
I can learn more about how to work behind the scenes of a radio/tv show and how it all runs and what it takes to get a show up and running and all the work behind it to make the show succesful.
5. How can you exhibit, showcase or otherwise share your work?
A way that I can exhibit my work is to take pictures/videos of what goes on behind the scenes of the broadcast and what I do to help the technical producer/director with the graphics.
6. How can your work or your skills & abilities help your company or organization?
I can contribute new ideas that could help out the show or ideas of some good guests that could be good for the show. I think that my ablility to be calm during a crisis, like something going wrong with the camera's or the graphics during the LIVE broadcast, could potenitionally rub off on some of the hot headed co-workers and they would start to calm down and fix the problem as quickly as possible.

Internship #3
1. What skills would you like to develop at your site?
i would like to develop some good computer/graphic skills that would help me later on if I choose to go into live tv. I would also like to develop better communication skills so I can know when to ask questions when I'm stuck on something instead of being quiet and not understanding what to do.
2. What interests do you have regarding the work done at your site?
I am interested in the live radio, because I love to listen to the radio and interning at a radio studio would help me get a feel of what it would be like and if i still wanted to do it in the near future.
3. What needs can you address (needs your mentor has, your company has, etc.) based on your skills and interests?

Internship #2
What have you actively done to start off on the right note?
The past two days I have been productive around the office and helpful with making sure everything that was needed to be done for the live broadcast was set and we had everything in order. I would say that time wise I have been responsible because I have always showed up on the scheduled time mainly because I go the same time as my mentor, since she is my neighbor.
What have you actively done to create interesting opportunities for yourself?
I got to show my mentor how hard working and positive I am during unfortunate situations that happen live and on-air which I would then help to save them time and make sure what had gone wrong got fixed, and in turn would make them want to use me to help solve other unfortunate situations that happen on-air.
What have you actively done to advance the interests of your mentor and/or site?
I'm learing faster and better at working on the live broadcast. On the first day I screwed up a couple of times but once i got that hang of it, i was good to go. Not only that, I'm an extra pair of hands that they needed to help out on the broadcast.
What can you do in the immediate future to improve yourself and your experience in the above areas?
I can understand better about how to work the live broadcast and strengthening my skills with graphics. I also hope to get to know more people and make connections, so far I have met a handful of people and are getting along great with them but I hope to get to know more people in the offices.

Internship Day 1
Brandon
#1)This is a picture of my work space. Although it is very small it is actually a big part of the live broadcast, because it is where I transfer things so it can show up on the tv.
#2)This is a picture of Chris Jenkins who is the tech guy. He is the one who I would be working with during the live broadcast to make sure that the show looks good on tv.
#3)This is a picture of me at my work station during the live broadcast. This is where I transfer things to Chris' computer so he can put it on the broadcast.
#4)This is a picture of me and the two Co-hosts of the Show. Where we are is the studio and where the broadcast is shot. The one on the left is Russ and the one on the right is Sully.
#5)This is a picture of another radio studio that is in the building of wsradio. It is one out of several studios besides the one that I am actually working at.
Sarah
Q:how has or will the recession downsize in the amount of cities it broadcasts in?
A: since it is broadcasted all over the country it is not likely that with the success we are doing we will lose big cities(like San Diego and Los Angeles) but we might lose small cities.
Randy
I woke up around 8 o'clock to make some orange danishes for my family and I. Then I went next door to my mentors house and from there we went to the studio where we were greated by the hosts of the show and some McDonald's for lunch. We then quickly went into a meeting about how they were going to change around the set of the studio which I liked because I got to give some input in what we did. From there we jumped right into the live broadcast which is my favorite part of my internship because not only am I helping with it but I am also in the credits! Towards the end of my internship everyone was grateful that I was there because they needed the extra hands.
