Channel 9 News 4WD

Post by written_ficton »

Taken outside the new courts building....

Got a really strange look from the cameraman when I took this shot. I smiled and kept on walking.

Was this a WARSUG Member?

ALL PICTURES WERE TAKING BY ME AND ARE COPYRIGHT! so to those people who will question me if they are mine can fob off!

I used to drive and operate that when I worked at Channel 9.

The guy who is the techy now is a bloke I used to go to school with (he's a couple of years older than me).

Used to have a ball, doing live crosses from kings park, at the perth magistrates court, from the clubrooms of Freo and West coast (got to go right in and set up the audio / clip the microphone on to the footy players, run cable back out to the van etc!)

That is the biggest thing I miss about that job, it was awesome!

The vehicle pictured is what they call "ENG VAN 3"
It's the newer of the two link trucks they have. The other one is called ENG VAN 1. Don't even know if it's still around or not, but it was a bit of a dog to drive compared to the newer one :)

Cheers,
Bonez

Does anyone know if STW9 is going to get Digital Link trucks at all by any chance.

Probably not. They don't have enough viewers to make it worthwhile ;)
