I worked in radio for a long time. We were an ABC affiliate. I listened to these guys do a newscast, literally, a thousand times...or more. Never had any idea what their studio looked like.
A TRUE PRO right there!! Great job as always Cheri. Miss seeing the old analog equipment, but what is there looks so much smaller and state of the art. No more carts lol!! :) Thanks for all you do.
I worked at Westwood One in DC where NBC Radio and Mutual News originated. Our studios looked like 1970. ABC has a nice facility there. Cheri is a consummate pro.
I love hearing your reports every day, and it's also neat to not only see what you look like, but get a glimpse of the sausage making. You do a great job.
Is your studio in New York? It is nice to see that broadcast radio is taking great advantage of computer technology, thanks to the microcomputer. I am an audiophile, a fan of microcomputer technology, and a user doing special typewriting.
I worked as a board operator at an ABC-affiliated radio station in Memphis around 2000. I recall there being a second "This is ABC News" statement at the end of the story circa 4:00 for stations to run local news and spots. Does anyone else recall that? The station I worked at didn't use it, as I recall. Granted, the format for the top-of-the-hour newscast has likely undergone reformatting. The best ABC newscast actually was offered overnights from 30:30 a.m. to 31:30 a.m. With many so many open spots overnights, especially on the weekends, the news minute filled the six-minute bottom of the hour break perfectly. I'd add in a three-minute basic sportscast, depending on the season, a Dr. Dean Edell medical minute (or something similar), weather, and a station promo (not always in the same order), then into the program. I'd adjust depending on the number of spots and the time paid to run. God, I miss those times.

I listen to Cheri and the reporting staff every morning. They do a great job!
Congratulations, Cheri!
It's my understanding you're a 2022 Gracie Award winner for outstanding female network radio news anchor.
7 years late but I still enjoy watching radio being made.

Perfect timing as well!

This is real radio! We are a proud ABC affiliate in North Dakota!
Fascinating! This is who I have heard on the radio for the past many years-lol. The other familiar voices include Aaron Katersky and Alex Stone
I remember the old school news broadcasts at the end would always say, " For the ABC Information Network, I'm (your name)".
"Doug Limerick"

I don't understand. I have the same microphone and microphone shock mount and yet I still don't sound anywhere near as good as Cheri Preston!

I wish the audio feed came from program out on the board. Cheri is always excellent ‼️
I really enjoyed watching a pro. Go Cheri go.
46 years in radio, and I sure can tip my hat to a real pro there. I've heard her for years. Right...NO MORE carts. LOL
Awesome!
What system is that storing the different cuts and soundbites?
Wow! You make a difficult job look so easy.
I always wanted to be on the radio!
Thanks so much for posting this! At 7:45, she mentioned a 140-pound ovarian cyst; I certainly hope the woman who was afflicted is doing well.
GASP!
She is soooo cute!
Why is there a guy with glasses on this video who "blocks" a camera?!? 😐
What's the name of the audio console?
I’m pretty sure that’s a Wheatstone digital console.
The 140 pound cyst story sounds like something Doug Limerick would pull at the end of his broadcasts.
Good job!
Hey Cheri - another Illinois native here (though I was an NIU Huskie), wondering if you can tell me what the cut player program is?
Oh, she is so cute!
I pray for her SOUL
Announcement Bible in radio channel STUDIO
