In the spirit of tonight’s rivalry game, I thought I’d post this clip we ran on KSL last year. This was my first BYU rivalry prank…courtesy of Brady and his brothers Jeremy and Jason. They’re all Cougar fans. Their brother Weston is the black sheep in the family…he’s a Ute.
So when the fun was over…I thought it would be fun to run this little story on the morning show.
If you think that was funny…check out what they did to each other this year.
Go Cougs!

I found this recently…
Back in January I got to have a little more fun with my dear anchors. We did a fitness segment, and the trainer was supposed to bring one of her students to demonstrate the exercises. That didn’t happen, so the fearless producer stepped in to help.
(Okay, secretly, I sometimes wish I was a fitness model…)

This week we launched a series on our morning show called “The Great Escape.” Every Friday for the next three weeks, KSL 5 Today goes on the road to a different quadrant of the state, to spotlight the lesser known activities that area has to offer. This week: Northeastern Utah.
I was the field producer for this adventure. I traveled out with anchor Scott Haws and crew man/camera operator Jeff Smith. We met up with the rest of our production team at Flaming Gorge, in a place called Red Canyon.
I wish I could show you the viewpoint of Chopper 5 of where we were standing…literally on the edge of a 1,500 foot cliff. We got there at 5 a.m., and were taking live shots from the chopper just as the sunrise hit the red cliffs around 6:24 a.m. It was incredible.
Here’s a clip of the show.

I was mostly communicating with the chopper and control room from inside the satellite truck, so I didn’t have to be out in the cold for too long. But it was definitely nippy out there in those early morning hours.
After our morning show, we packed up the truck and moved down below the Green River Dam, for a couple live shots during the noon show.
While not perfect, I felt like the show was a huge success. It certainly reflected in our morning show ratings. We beat the competition by a pretty big margin. But more than that, it was fun to do something so completely different for the show. Utah is a big place, and there are so many undiscovered gems in every part of the state. How awesome that we get to showcase it on live TV!

I produce the morning show. I thought it meant that I would never have to be in front of a camera…
Until last week.
