The Land of Public Access

Last night I visited KGEM studios and learned all about what it takes to put on a show. It's interesting to me that the staffers are there to accommodate anyone and everyone who is at all interested in filming something and getting it on the air. They will even help you edit, and shoot it, and they have a very small stage for doing things on-site, but you need to bring your own props (they are always looking for donations). And it's all free!

My mind was filling with all sorts of ideas for shows, but in the end I think I'm too camera shy to be in front of it, despite my journalistic background. I've never liked the idea of being recognized on the street, though I'm happy to bump into people I know. I just with I had cable so I could see what some of the locals have been up to. I imagine it could be kind of addicting once you got started.
