As some of you may have seen on Wednesday night - we unveiled a 'new look' FSR. It's something that has been in the works for a while now and after a stressful few months getting things together, we were able to launch (for the most part) glitch free at our usual time.
As a viewer you're going to see a much improved look, crisper colors and (hopefully) more quality content. We have moved into a new facility and also into the digital age. We now do EVERYTHING on computer. All our games, stories, hilite packs - everything - is going onto a server and we are cutting them right on our desktops. That's versus going into an edit suite, cutting them, writing them, etc. For those familiar with broadcast protocol - you'll understand what a HUGE leap this is in terms of time-saving.....Which will allow us to focus on adding more things and spending more time 'bone-ing up' on things.
However - as we move forward and get comfy with the new set-up, there will be some 'YouTube' moments to be sure. Hopfeully less rather than more. We're using a whole new production team two provinces away so we need to get used to one another. During this time, we appreciate your patience and understanding. Have a chuckle because we certainly will be....It's just the way TV goes sometimes and we all understand that.
Please feel free to leave feedback on the new look right here. We're ALWAYS anxious to hear what our viewers think when we make a change like this! But most of all - pat yourselves on the back. YOU are the ones we're doing this all for. It's an effort born out of YOUR feedback in regards to what we can do better and how we can improve. And our look is one thing we get constant comments about. It'll never be perfect - there will always be something we can do better - and that's the way it should be.
It is our hope that this 'new' look is just another reason to watch.
You already know the quality inside the book - we've just jazzed up the cover a bit!!
Enjoy - and thanks for watching (as always!).
(p.s. On top of the new look, we've also added a new reporter (and eventual anchor) to the staff. SHE will make her debut shortly so keep an eye out for that as well.)
