- 4/29 9:09 am - Presents very professionally. Intro was a little long with just one anchor talking onscreen but everything else looks and sounds good. Could have chosen a few of the most interesting points to focus on with more depth, questions, deeper discussion, but the general coverage served its purpose.
- 4/17 8:10 am - Production value was good and the cutaway to footage of sports was visually appealing. Conversation flows logically. Questions and discussion are thoughtful,but would of liked to see more follow up questions from the interviewer. Talent was professional.
- 4/16 1:52 pm - Very professionally done from the anchor segments to the sports update. The interview with the atheletic director was well done, great prep and very conversational. This felt like a compilation though.
Judge 1
Positives: -Crisp, professional graphics -Excellent use of highlights and photos to illustrate the guest's answers -Polished presenters
Improvements: -Lighting is somewhat flat in the studio -Angling the host and guest towards each other a bit more helps to build rapport. Interview felt a little stiff.
Judge 2
Positives: -Great energy and strong teases. They helped draw the viewer in and set up the content effectively. -Nice job incorporating VO. It added variety and helped keep the piece engaging.
Improvements: -During the interview with the athletic director, aim to keep the conversation more interactive by adding follow-up questions or reactions. It can make the segment feel less formal and more engaging. -Try to end the interview with a clear closing statement and a thank you to the guest. It helps wrap the segment up cleanly and leaves a strong final impression.
Judge 3
Positives: Strong lower third graphics with clear color branding. Good mix of in-studio reporting and interview segments that keep pacing dynamic.
Improvements: Audio transition from studio to reporter is abrupt, especially when music ends. Smoothing this transition would improve flow. When B-roll is unavailable during recap sections, consider using a full screen graphic showing scores while talent continues talking to avoid long static shots.
