CitrusTV’s two live shows have made station history this semester, and it was as easy as a video call on Skype.
CitrusTV News and Orange Press Pass both have had reporters “Skype in” to live shows on the Orange Television Network. Using a laptop with Skype in the absence of a costly and complicated live remote ENG truck, CitrusTV has been able to broadcast reporters from around campus and across the country.
Orange Press Pass, Syracuse’s only live post-game television show after men’s basketball games, brought in reporter Eva Zaccaria ’10 live from Washington D.C’.'s Verizon Center for a conversation with host Landon Stolar ’10 after last week’s Georgetown game. Tonight, the show plans to bring in Amy Johnson ’10 after No. 4 Syracuse takes on Providence on the road.
CitrusTV News, one of the only live campus newscasts in the country that airs three times a week, brought in Lorne Fultonberg ’13, from the Whitman School of Management when Syracuse alum and Vice President of Retail at Apple, Jerry McDougal spoke there earlier in the semester.
This Friday, while students are camping outside the Carrier Dome for Saturday’s basketball game against No. 7 Villanova, CitrusTV News will have live reports from across the campus. Watch on channel 2 or at orangetv.syr.edu – or stop by in person. It may be no College GameDay, but it’s your station.
