Newscast on wheels

Watch out, 12 News is on tour!  We're doing live newscasts in several different cities this summer, and when we come to town you know it.  We roll in with a fleet of vehicles.  Our most recent stop took us to Plymouth, known for its annual summer concert.  The anchors, Jen and Mike (seen below) kick off the show.

It takes quite a team of people to put on a live show.  We're only on the air for 25 minutes, but there are at least a dozen people working behind the scenes to make sure everything goes according to plan.  The fleet of vehicles supply power for all our electronics - and believe me we have a ton of electronic gadgets.

John and Shannon are 'roving' around the event.  John is doing sports and Shannon did a live trivia game.  
Think of it as state fair coverage, where the reporters have a little fun.  We'll do six of these live newscasts this summer, we've got three more to go!
