As we enter another headline-grabbing phase of #COVID19 in Canada, it’s time for another round kudos for the TV Pool networks covering federal, provincial and municipal briefings on the pandemic. We’re still dividing up the workload, still sharing with each other and... 1/2

Broadcast news flashback: Olden day @Bell BENG box in @CharlottetownPE looking a little dusty. No SDI please. It’s old school analog and clearly hasn’t been used in a while.

A generator used in the hospital is loud making it hard for docs to hear how close the shelling is and the big operating room staff say has too many windows exposing them to snipers.

This will be covered by a #TVPool camera. Canadian networks hope to minimize the number of people in news conference rooms for everyone's safety. Reporters still can ask questions by conference call. Stay safe, share as much as we can and report as much as we can -- together.

No ears to loop an IFB cable around, but he’s got a sharp suit and lav mic! Related, @VassyKapelos deserves some kudos for congratulating @DavidWCochrane on air today. Shows that TV competitors can still be friendly. You stay classy, Ottawa Press Gallery.
