It's up to us to decide which are the best stories to be telling. Another 300 staffers worked in the Olympic broadcast center at NBC headquarters in New York. Each has its own crew, including coordinating producer, producer, director, associate producer, assignment editor, researcher, production assistants, and two co-hosts. I have four brothers who give me ideas sometimes. I buy satellite time when the feeds are set.
Busy days are the best.
On a day with no news, we just start making calls. We try to remember stories we can follow up. So we call, and someone on the other end of the line will say, 'My god, he's been cured for months. People who want to get into the production side of sports journalism start at the bottom. And even that is competitive.
