Preparation, communication key CBS’ success

OGDEN. Utah — The recent death of artificial heart-recipient Barney Clark makes one realise thateverything is not as simple . as it may appear. Many things ' are taken for granted — for ex- ample. watching a televised basketball game. Yet. one would be amazed at how the CBS television crew operates when broadcasting live NCAA basket- ball action. Much of the behind-the-scene work in producing a live broad cast of an NCAA game by CBS remains unnoticed by the viewer at home. March 26th’s Western Regional final between State and Virginia was seen by millions of people across the country. Although the game was played on Saturday. the production crew arrived here on Monday giving them plenty of time to prepare for Thursday night's semi-finals. This particular crew was com- posed of production people and technicians who had worked earlier on other NCAA Tourna- ment games in Corvallis. Ore. and Boise. Idaho. The production crew consisted of Producer Ric LaCivita, Direc- tor Larry Cavolina. Associate Producer Joan Vitrano and Broadcast Associate Scott off our coverage Broadcast Assistant then tells Despite the fact that the Johnson.
