Default Re: Holiday lighting project in the Automobile Alley district

Most TV networks use footage in the can, not just here but all over. They have "packages" that are created all over of landmarks, interesting, visual trademarks and things in each town, sometimes seasonal.
Obviously.

And, yet, this is not always the case. It is certainly more common and almost universal on local, shall we say, "lower budgeted" productions like FSN and especially KSBI. That's why I felt that it had a much better chance of it happening on the ESPN broadcast, where they may actually have a second unit scouting for establishing shots (but, yeah, probably not for NBA). Of course, hardly any of it, if any at all, is ever actually "live". I'm not even sure if it's represented that way.

Anyway, I think with these lights it can still one day possibly have the potentialto be featured in a broadcast involving Oklahoma City and sports, even if we have to wait for the CVB to submit it 5 years from now and at the wrong time of year...

Sorry, I assumed you meant ESPN, since you were responding to my post about ESPN.
