Walking into the first floor down town studios outside Tribune Plaza, a visitor might expect pan demonium as the night's news is hastily being assembled. • But inside the tall, modern building overlooking the Chicago River, with the signature NBC peacock adorning the top, the only sounds that are heard are the drones of about 150 unoccupied computers and a woman's voice pleading, "I need a serious Margarita." The anchors, Allison Rosati and Warner Saunders, have not yet arrived, but the writers' meeting begins at 7:18 p.m. During the meeting, a notion arises that something big has happened or is about to happen. The van of a missing Joliet family has just been found. "We got a real good shot around 6:50 of the van being pulled out of the river," says writer Darren Garrett. "Amy's going to be satellite." As the meeting continues, field reporter Amy Jacobson drives out in the NBC truck to the Des Plaines River to report the story. Next is a shot of the cleanup process in the aftermath of Seattle's earth quake. "Harvey, give me some good rubble,"news producer Katy Kampschroeder says to writer Harvey Hunt, decked out in cowboy boots and a sheriff's buckle. As he explodes into the meeting, Chris Meyers, 10 p.m. news executive producer, announces, "The family is kind of pissed at us." The family had been involved in a child pornography case and Channel 5 had been horn, for no reason other than boredom. the only station to report the story. While it allowed the other stations Up at the control room, one floor above into their home for interviews, their doors were closed for Channel 5. He the studio, it's dark and small.
