Bombers Live

Spring Semester 2025, Fall Semester 2025

Bombers Live is ICTV's live sports coverage. In the fall semester we cover IC football, and in the spring semester we cover IC men's and women's basketball. We have a pre, half, and post-game studio show, as well as coverage of the live game with play-by-play, color, and a sideline reporter.

For football, I was the director in our broadcast truck for the game.

For basketball, we are a remote production during the game, switching the show from the Park School and also controlling the studio show.

I directed spring 2025 basketball and fall 2025 football.

I teach directing at ICTV! In these Intro to Studio Directing workshops, I show students the functions of the control room and studio, talked about director commands and terminology, go through a show script and rundown, show them how to mark up a script, and have them practice directing part of a show!​

I am a two-time recipient of the ICTV Excellence in Studio Directing award.
