I know exactly what you are talking about. Although most of the time when I was in the business, I was shooting footage for commercials and feature pieces. The "LIVE" productions were a different beast altogether especially our Mardi Gras Parade telecast...SHEESH, What noise!...A Production Manager wears a lot of hats, especially in a small market. I also wrote most local copy as well as did voice over...
