How was the C-SET telecast and how did we look on TV? Looked great from my viewpoint in Halton and from the local highlights. The green shirts with large white lettering showed up well.

GREAT JOB BY EVERYONE WHO ORGANIZED IT AND THE STUDENTS/FANS WHO ABSOLUTELY ROCKED HALTON!!!

I watched the game on CSET. My only complaint is the camera crew does not stay focused on the game all the time. I don’t know how many plays/shots that I missed seeing because the camera man was focused on the coaches, crowd, etc.

When the altercations occurred the camera was focused on the student section right behind the Niner bench. This is fine at times during the game but I had no clue as to what was going on.

I agree with both. Great job of C-SET, both stepping up for the game and for getting those shirts made and out there. Also thought that the camera was in the wrong place at the wrong time sometimes. How many camera’s did C-SET have at the game? 2? Not complaining, just curious and hope that maybe that issue can be fixed in the future.

That’s more of a function of the director than the camera men. I think sometimes C-SET takes a “WGN” approach to our games. The late Arne Harris really set the stage for fledgling networks across the nation to take a different tack with its sports programming. I think C-SET’s in this same category and their overall lack of product means that they have to rely on “entertainment” versus “sports.”

"Thanks to decades of praise from the likes of Jack Brickhouse and Harry Caray on Cub telecasts, Harris has become famous in his own right as the impresario in the longest running television program in this or any other city: WGN’s Chicago Cubs telecasts.

Insiders, as well as the public, recognize the universal appeal of his work. It can be argued that Arne Harris, more than any other television director, has helped to define how we watch baseball. He has turned sports coverage into entertainment, and in the process, can claim some of the credit for our love and devotion to a team that hasn’t always earned it."
