Week 6: CBS Station Promotion & Advertising

Posted on at


ONE WEEK...that's how long I have left until the end of the internship: can you believe how fast time flies? This past week was interesting as always. On Monday, July 26 I sat in on two show tapings: one for The Price is Right, hosted by Drew Carey (who let me tell you, is a class act and great guy) and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. I brought my mom along so she could enjoy a day seeing how damn good television is made. Drew Carey has lost over 80 pounds and looks great, and I have so much more respect for Craig Ferguson after seeing that it is literally a one man show. He doesn’t have any cue cards like Jay Leno, nothing is scripted; he just goes out and does his thing. Morgan Freeman was his guest and it was really cool to see them both in person, plus we had really good seats so I was in the front row. The Price is Right is HILARIOUS, I was blown away by all the fanatics, and I mean FANATICS that sat in the audience. Anyway, as the week progressed I continued to work on our sponsorable preview spot for BLUE BLOODS. After several revised versions we finally finished a :30, and an ALT :30. Now we need to pass it through legal and if we get the thumbs up from them then we’re ready to go. I can’t wait to share all this material with you guys once the internship is done. We officially finished BLUE BLOODS on Friday, which was great after a long week behind the Avid. Above is a screengrab of Alex O'Loughlin, the star of Hawaii Five-0, featured in one of our spots. Now all that remains is to work on the announcement that will feature promotion of these spots for our station affiliates…but I’ll update you all again on this next week. Until then…stay tuned… EO
