(Local) TV reality

A piece on the blog of a friend that points to some of the realities of working in local TV news:

Ah and a congratulations to Bernie who is now an official First Mate at a private airline in New Hampshire. No more late nights standing in the snow on top of TV stations filming the local highway to prove to all the warm viewers that it is snowing outside.

(background note- Bernie has a degree in communication but also has a pilots' license)
