For our friends working parades or football games today, or even on duty at local stations and cable networks covering the news, editing video or in the control room…take some pix and post them in the comment section of this post. We’ll keep you company and we all know how it is to work on a holiday. The big eye never sleeps.
Here’s a great back in the day shot from John Schipp. I think this is NBC covering The Macy’s Parade in 1954. Happy Thanksgiving! -Bobby Ellerbee
Just heard from Rob Balton who’s with Peter Pan director Glenn Weiss. Rob is on the Pan crew, but today, both are working for CBS on their Macy’s coverage.
This just in from Dan Balton…tech rehearsal going on now for Macy’s.

Thanks to Dan Balton and Ray Bagnuoto for most of these now pix…Dan on left.
Going on now at Macy’s
Tech conference in the middle of 34th Street. Dan Balton in NBC jacket. I think the man in the Met hat to his left is the director.
Macy rehearsals going on now
Sting rehearsing, Dan Balton watches, lower right.
No business like show business is there?
Just in from ABC NY, Ansel Nunez getting “jibby” at ‘Good Morning America’. We’re with you Ansel! Thanks!
Sting at Macy’s rehearsals
Homebase sure looks a lot different on TV doesn’t it?
Can’t wait to see these gals!
Smile everyone!
Some of the men behind the cameras today at the Macy’s viewing stands.
Street level cams at Macy’s homebase.
Street side camera rehearsal at Macy’s
A rare look at what the performers see from this homebase position. I think the host booth is (not shown) to the far right so the parade approaching the green zone can be seen behind them.
Just in from our friend Teddy Flandreau at Macy’s near Central Park. Al Roker’s position.
My brother George Smith worked at ABC7 Chicago for over 40 years, many holidays!
CBS at Columbus Circle
Here at NBC with an all new “Late Night” tonight. Tune in for the thanksgiving Late Night special after Fallon
At This Hour on CNN
I’ve had one thanksgiving off in 32 years, and that was due to a scheduling fluke.
Thanks to all who are working to be On Air today and all Holidays, I’ve been there!
