Science at Sea Day 4 – Whales in Sitka
Loading ...
It’s not too difficult to fly out of bed in the morning when you know that you’re going to spend part of the day hanging out with sea otters and maybe a few whales. The morning started early for our video crew – Bradley Mayhew and Jeff Brooks – as I knocked on their cabin doors at 3:45 a.m. to get ready to broadcast live back to the NBC affiliate KUSA-TV in Denver from the deck of the ship. Just a few years ago, a three minute broadcast like this would have cost huge amounts of money. Thanks to tools like Skype, it’s possible to broadcast for almost anywhere – 70 miles off the coast of Alaska for today’s broadcast. Huge props to MTN Satellite Services for providing the increased bandwidth to broadcast our segment.
