[BC] SB Half Time Show

[Mike McCarthy]

Was it Don Kershner Productions this year?  They had a production credit at 
the end of the half-time show which I think was Don's.

Robert is correct, there are certain aspects of the overall production 
which are not within the network's command and control.  ABC may have 
supplied the cameras and equipment, but it was by no means an ABC 
production.  As Robert points outs, the actual production command and 
control is done from another set of trucks.

Until this year, there had been gains in both production value and gee wiz 
each game.  This year they hit the goal post and will need to take a step 
back and look at which production elements worked, and what didn't.  That 
and reassess the need to move 26 tons of equipment in 6 minutes on and off 
the field.
