Live from 9News' Studio: Behind-the-Scenes Newsroom Footage

What's it like to appear live on the news for a full three minutes in front of an estimated 1.2 million viewers? My daughter Chloe could tell you!

On February 25th she presented a science experiment live on 9News, Denver's local NBC affiliate KUSA, with science guy Steve Spangler.

I shot this behind-the-scenes footage at the 9News studio and newsroom, which Chloe then edited and remixed. Here's the video:

And here's the "Experiment of the Week" news segment as it appeared on air:

It was such a blast! I learned a lot about how the local news is produced. Everything was so fast-paced. Late-breaking items were being woven in in near real-time, and the news anchors never missed a beat. I'm still amazed my 16-year-old kid was able to appear so comfortable and confident on camera. I would have totally choked at her age. Nowadays, I can handle TV, thanks in part to the media training I had.

  1. Chloe did great on the air! I watched Chloe's remixed episode (Christian artist, "Grits - Ooh Aah" is the background music, always loved them) & the channel 9 show. I wish I would have had a chemistry teacher do these experiments for me back in school, I might have been a chemistry major.........but....I know it worked out better for my family and me with what I do now......
