Kevin Carroll Takes the Stage: Hit Late Night Show Finishes First Semester of Filming

“Late Night with Kevin Carroll” is Q30 Television’s newest show.  It may also be the station’s most popular show.

On Thursday Dec. 5, 2013, Late Night completed filming its final episode of the Fall semester.  The filming took place live in front of an audience in the Piazza of the Carl Hansen Student Center at Quinnipiac University.  It is the only show filmed in front of a live audience.

The gathering of Quinnipiac students gave the taping not only the feel of a live production, but that of a popular campus event.  For each taping, the show is “co-sponsored” by another student organization where that group will ensure that people come to the show to participate in the audience.

The team is working to get the show promoted on Quinnipiac’s “MyQ” website.

Executive Producers Rebecca Castagna and Sommer Rusinski, along with Host Kevin Carroll, proposed the idea for the late night show back in September.  Weeks later, Late Night with Kevin Carroll published its first episode to YouTube.com on  Oct. 13, 2013.

That individual episode now has 1,077 total views so far, thus making it by far the most watched show episode of the Fall semester.  As of Friday Dec. 6, Late Night Episode 1 is followed by both Episode 3 (803 views) and Episode 2 (673 views) respectfully.

Following the production of the inaugural show, the producers of Late Night with Kevin Carroll have begun uploading the individual segments from the show onto YouTube to further promote the show.

Compared to the other five weekly television shows Q30 produces, Late Night with Kevin Carroll is bi-weekly.  By taping every other week, it allows the crew to work on the segments and come up with ideas.

“We come in every Tuesday the week before we shoot the show to come up with ideas and begin writing the monologue … It’s all around fun, its a lot of hard work, its kind of time consuming, but its worth it,” said James Anderson, a production assistant for Late Night.

The bi-weekly filming was an idea given to them by Q30 Television Vice President Sarah Violette.  Violette has been a big advocate and supporter for the show during its early existence.

When asked if she was surprised by how far Late Night with Kevin Carroll has come since its beginnings, Violette said, “Am I surprised? No. I think what I am more surprised about is that when they brought the show to us, they showed us all these great ideas and we said, ‘great, but thats a lot of work’ … I am surprised that it has gone so smoothly and I think the reason its happened is that they have a severely dedicated staff.”

As for the future of the show … there are new things in the works.  Executive Producer Rebecca Castagna was able to shed some light on what we can expect in the Spring.

“Some ideas for the future, we have ideas for cooler segments and parody music videos, we also want a live band for Kevin, kind of his own version of ‘The Roots‘ because that would be fun.”

Late Night with Kevin Carroll will be returning bi-weekly on Thursday nights once the Spring semester begins.

Covering Nemo

Last Year, Blizzard Nemo found its way to the Northeast corridor, dumping two to three feet of snow in some areas.  None were hit harder than the Hamden area as the town received a documented 40 inches of snow.

This was the same for Quinnipiac’s campus, as the clock tower and its off-campus houses on New Road were covered by the white stuff.

During the middle of the storm, through the raging winds and blowing snow, there stood a single person.  As the rest of Bobcat Nation was warm and cozy in their residence halls, one lone bobcat confronted the storm head on.

Camera in hand, Q30 Television’s Elijah Westbrook battled through the storm on Bobcat Way.  Westbrook was documenting the snowfall and trying to grab reactions from other QU students.  Elijah’s News Package is included below.

Now it’s roughly nine months removed from Nemo, and The Weather Channel decided that they wanted to look back on the storm.

Noted weather personality and major storm chaser Jim Cantore came to Quinnipiac’s campus to interview Elijah Westbrook and current Q30 General Manager Jon Alba about the student coverage of the storm.

Alba was stuck in his home in New Jersey for an extended time after he returned home to play in a show with his band, Seventh Son.

The two were featured during the 9 a.m. hour on The Weather Channel.  It was also fitting that Quinnipiac experienced a light snowfall that morning … the first snowfall of the current winter season.

Back at The Bank

Both sides of the TD Bank Sports Center were in action on Friday night. The Women’s Basketball and Men’s Ice Hockey teams played a double header, which in a sense, welcomed in the new Winter sports season. Joe Schiavone of the QU Spirit Group chimed in on what it means for the winter seasons to get going.

“I’m excited that [the winter sports] are back because of the new scoreboards because they will add a new element to the games up [at the Bank].”

Though the night was about the teams and the games, the media got its first taste of life at the Bank in Fall 2013.

Friday marked the first day of the Fall semester in which two games were played in the dual-arena. Jordan Siegler, Quinnipiac junior, spent Friday night as a cameraman. Siegler also contributes to the student media coverage throughout the year.

“Covering games at the Bank it so useful,” Siegler stated, “The coverage we can participate in at an arena like this is the most real world experience at the school in my opinion.”

Student and professionals alike comprised the media on Friday. Professional media included, but was not limited to, WQUN and the schools new scoreboard cameramen.

On Friday, the media ended the night by covering the Quinnipiac Men’s Ice Hockey victory over Brown.

The next events at the TD Bank Sports Center are scheduled for Saturday as Quinnipiac heads into its highly anticipated matchup with Yale.

Broadcasterman

“Oh Knights of Columbus that hurt…”

Anchorman’s Ron Burgundy uttered that line while settling a dispute in his newsroom out in San Diego.  Though it seems like this line may have nothing to do with Connecticut media, I promise that there is a connection to one particular person.  One, let’s call him, Broadcasterman.

A resident of Wyckoff, New Jersey, you can find our broadcasterman behind the microphone of a Quinnipiac Field Hockey game.  Zack Daly, is a senior Broadcast Journalism major at Quinnipiac and a Grand Knight in the university’s chapter of the Knights of Columbus (see the connection?).  Daly is one of the broadcast managers for the Quinnipiac Bobcats Sports Network (QBSN).  Through his job at QBSN, he also serves as the producer of QBSN Presents: Bobcat Breakdown which airs on Q30 Television.  The Bergen Catholic High School (Oradell, N.J.) graduate spent his time this summer as an intern with the Danbury Westerners (Danbury, Conn.).

And in Local News documented Daly’s past week as he continued to dive deep into multiple broadcasting opportunities.

Tuesday: QBSN Presents: Bobcat Breakdown, Zack Daly and his associate producers put together QBSN and Q30’s sports debate-style show which airs at 7:00 p.m. every Tuesday.

Friday: Bobcats Madness, Daly was selected as one of two hosts for Q30’s live Bobcats Madness production.

Daly is taking full advantage of different opportunities.  From being a manager, a producer, on-air talent, and a play-by-play announcer, Daly is truly working towards being a Broadcasterman.

Student Television’s Changing of the Guard

In the shadow of a giant, one small television station is making a name for itself.

Q30 Television is Quinnipiac University’s student-run, closed circuit, television station.  The organization is nestled on the Mount Carmel campus, split between two studios of operations.  

Last year, the majority of the Q30 Executive Board and Board of Directors graduated with the outgoing class of 2013.  They were replaced, by election, with a set of current Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores.  There is a new face in most every position.

Now one-and-a-half months into the new regime, productivity at the station has increased.

For Q30 Television, productivity is rated by the activity the station gets on its YouTube page.  Being a closed circuit station, the organization focuses on its online presence to further promote its content.

YouTube views are key.  With advertising set in place, more views Q30 videos get means more money raised for the station.

One Q30 department has had a profound effect on the number of views on the Q30 YouTube page.  That department is the Sports Department.

(This Q30 Sports Update is one of the most watched videos on the Q30 YouTube page. It was put together by current Sports Director, Mark Spillane.  Spillane one-man-banded the project.)

Jon Alba, the General Manager of Q30, commented on the productivity of the Sports Department during his time leading the station.  “Station productivity is at the highest it’s ever been at, in large part due to the sports department.”

Based on YouTube Analytics, the top 25 most viewed videos of the current semester; Q30 Sports has produced 17 of them. Those 17 videos amount to 3,211 views of their own.

For Q30 as a whole, during this time period last year, from August 20, 2012 to October 12, 2012, the total amount of views was 3,940.  This year that number is 9,240.  That is roughly a 288 percent increase in online traffic.

All Data Courtesy of YouTube Analytics

Though productivity has increased, Alba maintains that the content produced is still held to high standard.

“Our content has been picked up by the NHL, the NCAA and other organizations, and has been built upon credibility and quality.”

Follow-Up: NBC Connecticut Producer’s Comments

On Saturday, Oct. 5, And In Local News…  published a report covering the results of a poll on the site.

The poll asked the site’s readers to select which Connecticut television station is their “go-to” for breaking news.

As reported, NBC Connecticut was the top choice as it captured more nearly 52 percent of the vote.

And In Local News…  editor, John Small, reached out to NBC Connecticut Producer, and Quinnipiac alum, Samantha Plourde to get her toughts on the result of the poll.  She was unable to comment before the article’s deadline due to her work shift, but as promised, we would publish her comments once we received them.

Plourde commented saying that, “It is one of the goals of NBC Connecticut to ‘win’ on breaking news in our market. We want to own breaking news, just like we ‘own’ the Olympics or owning on weather coverage. And I feel NBC Connecticut has so many tools to make that possible.”

She also went on to mention the different resources at NBC Connecticut’s disposal, including using their traffic cameras and live shots from their other affiliates.  Plourde also mentioned the station’s Peabody Award for their breaking coverage of Sandy Hook.

With all of the tools available, and the drive to be first, Plourde still said, “we strive to be accurate, and people trust us.

This article was a follow-up to the one published on October 5th, 2013.

NBC Connecticut: Top Dog In Local CT News Poll

On Monday, Sep. 30^th, 2013, And In Local News… posed a question to it’s readers; “What Connecticut television stations is your go-to for breaking news?”

The answer?  As of Saturday, Oct. 5^th, 2013, the site’s readers voted NBC Connecticut as the “go-to for breaking news” as it captured nearly 52 percent of the votes cast.  

In second place was the CBS affiliate, WFSB Channel 3.  Channel 3 is commonly known for its “Channel 3 Eyewitness News”.  WFSB had nearly 29 percent of the vote

Those two stations accounted for roughly 81 percent of the total votes; yet, NBC Connecticut had nearly twice as many votes as WFSB.

Results from the poll, as of Oct. 5th, 2013
(NBC in Dark Blue)

Looking at the pie chart above, “Other”, WTNH and Fox CT combined did not represent even 25 percent of the votes cast.  The overwhelming majority is represented by the separate (NBC) piece of the pie.

Back in June, the Hartford Courant published an article that Fox CT, which was tied for last in this poll along with WTNH, had dominated the late night ratings during the month of May.

Michael Giunta, a resident of Westport, Conn., frequently watches Fox CT for his news.  He said, “In my personal opinion, Fox CT has the best coverage by far.”  Giunta followed up that comment, saying that he enjoyed watching Fox CT because, “[he likes] the on-air talent and also [agrees] with the company’s political views, but for things like weather, hurricanes, and snow updates, [he would] check anything that is closer to ‘W’ on the list, even NBC.”

(Here is an example of NBC Connecticut’s coverage of Hurricane Sandy)

—————————————————————————–

Once the results were finalized on October 5th, And In Local News… reached out to Samantha Plourde, a Producer at NBC Connecticut, to get her take as to why NBC Connecticut got the top spot in the poll.  Our questions went unanswered but if we receive comment, even at a later date, And In Local News… will publish them as a follow-up to this article.

The poll will remain open throughout the semester in the hopes of getting a larger sample size.  The results will be continually checked throughout the remainder of the semester for changes.

Connecting With Home, Hyperlocal Style

Oh the places you’ll go.  Dr. Seuss’ timeless story tells of all the possibility that one may have in their life, no matter how far from home their dreams take them.

Yet some college students like to stay connected to home.

Evan McKay, resident of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., enjoys staying in touch with home.

“It’s nice to call home or read the newspapers and stay up to date on the news happening back home,” McKay stated, “it makes me still feel like a part of the community”.

Some students from South Windsor, Conn., turn to South Windsor’s Patch website for quick stories from home.

From loose poultry on Ellington Road …

… to quick response firemen …

The Patch offers the students a wide array of “hyperlocal” news.  However, during Patch’s well-documented struggles with profitability over the year, it raised the case to whether or not “hyperlocal” news has a place in the market.  Alex Kantrowitz of Advertising Age, believes that even though Patch is struggling, there are ways that “hyperlocal” news can work.

“I can see where people would like it … but personally I’d much rather get my news from other sources like my local TV station, because they can provide local news too” McKay commented about Patch’s concept.

Staying informed is the name of the game.  Even through its struggles, and for the time being, Patch is still on that mission of informing the public.

One recent post on South Windsor’s Patch website provided the residents of the town with updates about a search following an armed robbery at a CVS in town.

(The clip shows how easy it would have been for the robber to simply walk into and rob a store like CVS)

It is unknown as to how long Patch may continue to exist, but for know, South Windsor residents can go there for their South Windsor news.

Attempts were made to contact Kaitlin Glanzer, editor of the South Windsor Patch, for additional comment.  After initial contact, “And in Local News…” asked a series of questions but received no response.  However, the news stops for no one.

Local Perspective: Middletown

Local Perspective: Middletown

   News is a fight between David and Goliath, though David
   doesn’t always win. 

    

   Local and National news organizations are competing for the
   same people.

    

   The way to find out what the public is reading and how are
   getting their news is simple.  Ask
   them.  Find the local perspective.

    

   The town of Middletown, Conn., became the subject for this
   investigation.  Middletown has its own
   local news source … The Middletown Press.

    

   The Journal Register Company publishes the newspaper.  It is one of three daily papers Journal
   Register Company owns in the state.

    

   From looking at the Middletown Press’ website, at an initial
   glance, the majority of the content involves Middletown or its residents.  This raises the question of whether or not
   the Press is too localized for its readers.

    

   Janet Maune has been a Middletown resident for more than 20
   years.  Since moving from Windsor, Conn.,
   Maune feels as if she is a well-informed citizen. 

    

   When asked where she gets local news, she said, “I usually
   get it from the TV, though the Middletown patch will post things right away and
   send you emails going you instant information.”

    

   Television and even the local patch website, but no mention
   of The Middletown Press. 

    

   There are now countless ways to get informed about the
   news.  In Janet’s case, the local
   newspaper is not her go-to. 

    

   “I know about The Middletown Press, its just that getting
   the news from other sources is easier.”

    

   According to a study by The Pew Research Center’s Project
   for Excellence in Journalism, from 2005-2011, the amount of print advertising
   revenue has fallen by more than 50 percent.

    

   Based on that trend, newspapers are on the down and out
   slide.  With television news networks and
   the series of patch websites, The
   Middletown Press could find itself without an audience.

    Summary: There is a clear difference in the reporting between the two companies.  The Middletown Press is a print publication.  NBC Connecticut is television.  However that distinction should not matter in the realm of social media where the playing field is level.
