Assistant Director
Wami
I was brought in as the Assistant Director who was responsible for timing commercial breaks and letting the crew know how much time was left, did the same for video during live broadcasts. After my first month WAMI, who was owned by USA Broadcasting, was bought out by TeleFutura and I was to be laid off at the end of our sports contracts, we covered the pre, halftime and post game shows for the Miami Heat, Florida Marlins and Dallas Mavericks. As the end drew ever nearer my job changed almost daily, as other operators left we spread out so I was a Director/Technical Director, prompter operator, studio camera, video tape roller and audio operator (vacation coverage). It was a whole scene.
