bixpchiphead 105 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 *Note: I believe that former President Ford would get a kick out of that description...He did have a good sense of humor...After all, one of the first symposiums held at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum was entitled "Humor and the Presidency" This is going to be broken down into several posts because of the pictures i took Anyhoo, living in GRR, i went down to the Ford Museum to sign the guest book and to take pics of those (local regional and national) who are shooting us... Of course more will be here as we get closer to Tues Jan 2, and Wed Jan 3, when the former President Retuns home for good The live microwave/satelite trucks and support vehicles are parked just south of the museum more in Post 2....

bixpchiphead 105 Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Pic 1 is a micro truck for West Michigan's CBS/CW Affliliate WWMT-TV/DT, and a micro/sat combo truck that made the trip from MKE's WTMJ-TV/DT.

bixpchiphead 105 Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Pic one is a favorite... it is a combo truck for Detroit's WXYZ-TV/DT....They have used the same basic graphic design for their live units since Bill Bonds and ABC ownership.... It is Simple, Direct, and I LIKE 8) Detroit's WDIV-TV/DT had two live unit's here, one of which is the combo unit in pic 2 More in Post 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bixpchiphead 105 Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 pic one is a travesty. WZZM-TV/DT, west michigan's primary ABC affiliate had an okay graphic design on their Combo truck when they first got it... then the GANNETTOIDS got a hold of it, turning it into one of the most singularly craptacular pieces i have ever seen.... Chasing storms, well okay, at a State Funeral, SO NOT OKAY > Pic two is a reminder of whom all this video, sat time, and microwaving is being done for... on to part 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief-O 28 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Wow, I even saw a WTMJ truck (man, everything about them is always uber-pretty, EVEN THEIR TRUCKS!) Except their newscasts. I'm quite surprised they went out there, though.....how many more out-of-market stations were there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeters 1812 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 TMJ used their sat truck once doing a report from Kenosha (A few miles south of Milwaukee), and I got to see it! Speaking of TMJ, during the noon news, they did a live shot from downtown Milwaukee, and WITI was in traffic behind them. This is the second time I've seen WITI's truck on WTMJ news. The first being back in March when TMJ did a five minute live shot with a WITI live truck behind them. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
