In Reply To: LostRemote had the KRON story last month... and according to discussion on their Web site, many people think the one-man band trend will grow, especially in bigger markets. Here's one interesting take.. http://www.lostremote.com/archives/004795.html Do you agree or disagree?
Message: I'm intrigued by the LostRemote interview referenced above. Who's putting 50 or 60 people on the street with one man banding? That may well truly change the dynamic, but it seems everybody who is going to OMBing is just trying to cut costs ... they put no more people on the street, so they end up with the same crap as everybody else, only done more poorly. I would be very interested in expanded discussion on how one might run an operation with 50 or 60 VJs ... What does your air product look like? Is it dramatically different from the formula stuff we crank out today? Do you dump the concept of "packages," and aim just to get the story on the air? Thoughts?
