Welcome to the PIT List!

I'm a network field producer who also worked in local tv as a line producer and field producer. Over the years, I have had the great fortune to work with super people. Now I'd like to pass along what I know and rant a tad.

Economy Worries

Working as a consumer producer for years, I had the opportunity to read and answer literally hundreds of complaints about car dealerships. So even I am surprised by my new-found compassion for them and concern about their financial well-being. Consider it enlightened self-interest. I am thinking of all my friends currently working in local television stations, which depend upon dealer advertising for big chunks of revenue. What happens if dealers start going belly up? Will that lead to more rounds of layoffs? Scary.
