Yesterday was my first live broadcast with WOTV 4! And actually my first live broadcast ever! I had the opportunity to work as the offical co host with Maranda, broadcasting live from DeVos Place for the 12th Annual Michigan International Auto Show! I had an amazing time, and realized that not only is live so much different from pre-taped broadcasts, but its also a ton of fun!
The day started at 9am from DeVos Place where I was a guest of Joy’s and skyped on Eight West, and then it was off to rehearsals and runthroughs for the big event! The live Charity Gala Preview!
The broadcast began at 7pm from inside the showroom, and for the one hour segment Maranda and I ran back and forth between some of the hottest cars, interviewing owners of local dealerships and drooling over the most beautiful cars on the market. Some of the cars included the all new 2011 Ford Mustang GT featuring a powerful 5.0L V8 engine kicking out 412 HP! Some of my other favorites were the Cadillac CT-S, Cadillac Escalade Hybrid Platinum, and a new little compact with a lot of get up and go…the all new Ford Fiesta which will be coming out this summer!
I was so greatful to be working with such an amazing team from WOTV, especially Maranda who told me stories about her first live broadcast from the auto show years ago! Thank you to WOTV 4 for an amazing night, and to all of the wonderful dealership owners who made my job easy by being so much fun to interview! Im looking forward to the upcoming weekend where I will be sitting next to the girls from Eight West, and by my brand new Kia Soul!
This is such a fun event, which benefits the Helen DeVos Childrens Hospital! I hope to see you there!
