Here’s 1992 election coverage in TV 3 with Terry Moran watching in his striped shirt.
That is hard to believe. TV3 has the second story now. To the right of PJ is the great Roger Goodman who directed every news event on the Network for decades. Roger was one of the most powerful men at abc.
I believe this is the floor of tv-1/tv-2 rigged for election coverage. Still a good memory.
Wide angle lens will make it look bigger.
Roger Goodman and I shared a mentor, Cliff Braun. Roger came back to Chicago to help get WFLD off the ground. He has made great contributions to the look of television, driving ABC visually for decades.
Any idea on the year? My dad Bruce Balton used to work a crane on ABC’s election coverage. He might be somewhere in this photo! This was an anecdote that the ICG Magazine ran in a story about him:
“We worked for many years at ABC News with a terrific director named Roger Goodman,” adds Emmy® winning camera operator Lyn Noland. “One year, when we were shooting election coverage in an ABC studio, the legendary journalist, David Brinkley, took a fall on the track of Bruce’s jib and fell flat on his face. He was unhurt. Later, Bruce found some yellow tape and made an outline of a man over the track. Goodman, who has a tremendous sense of humor, had us shoot a video with crazy sound, lighting and camera effects, which we named Man Down! We all couldn’t stop laughing, and to this day, it remains one of the funniest things we’ve ever done on a set.”
