New Year, New Changes

As we begin a New Year, we’re about to lose one of our most esteemed production assistants.

Heather Torbitt has been a production assistant at WUSA 9 since the spring of this year. She served as a floor director and teleprompter operator, but she was so much more.

She’s directed broadcasts for the web and for our air product, edited commercial billboards for the sales department and spent time with me in learning our DEKO graphics computer.

In addition to that, she’s helped me format rundowns for our newscasts. Even more vital, she would catch spots in the rundown that could get us into trouble on the air BEFORE we even started the newscast!

Her hard work has earned her a spot at CNN here in Washington DC. WUSA-TV’s loss will most certainly be CNN’s gain!

Good luck, Heather!
