2009 Children's Miracle Network Telethon - Segment 1 "Heart"

Many editors feel this way...

We just don't publicize how we feel...

Telethon Segments in NYC

A quick updated on the national telethon segments (14x14min.).

All tapes are in NY at Treehouse Media being close-captioned and duplicated to be shipped monday to our member stations.

The edit went smoothly with Don, Jim, and I dividing the shows almost equally to get the show done on time.

We are planning on posting all the segments as "webisodes" so stay tuned...

Pro-Am cut for promoting the Children's Miracle Network Classic

National Show edit begins

The pieces for the National Broadcast are coming together. We've wrapped up shooting with John Schneider in Santa Barbara as of last week. The other guest celebrities tapes are arriving. So the edit begins. The goal is to keep the phones ringing. So you will see that the show has a very different feel and message.

John's work was impeccable. Not many actors can read teleprompter for a whole day. John was a trooper and showed his commitment to Children's Miracle Network again by putting in a long day on set.

Thanks to the team effort to get the writing finished for all 14x 14 minute segments. That was an achievement all by itself.

We'll try to post updates as we go along.
