Possible weather Programme for CTV

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Wed 19/04/2006 22:03

I received the following email from Annette Hilton from the NZ Broadcasting School here in ChCh who wants to make a news story about weather watching/storm chasing here in Canterbury.
Would any other Canterbury members like 03 Stormchaser,Steve Graham,Jason, Aaron,Tony T etc like to contribute to the programme?

Hi
My name is Annette Hilton and I'm a journalism student at the New Zealand Broadcasting in Christchurch.
I am wanting to get hold of John Gaul and Bob Crowder for a television news story for Canterbury Television.
I would like to do this story on Christchurch weather watchers and the New Zealand Thunderstorm Society.

Any help with this would be very much appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you.

If it does go to air, it may be shown on Mercury Television

Ive just had a fuuny thought.
They could film us sitting at Steven Graham's house, in our socks,
watching a blank TV screen for about 24 minutes then a lightning flash as we are watching some recorded footage of recent weatner.

Sounds like a cool Idea John.

If me and 03 do something you have to be in it to John!! So that leaves you with one choice John. You give them a call and say we would like to do something then I'll go in it with you.

Cheers

Wasn't there a TV camera guy posting regularly here at one point?

Thunder · Unread post by **Thunder** » Fri 21/04/2006 21:08

There is joecam. I'm sure he's still around but only comes on during the exciting times. But that's ok.

Possibly looks in quite often but doesn't post much, a bit like me at the moment!

I have now given up on TV stations. I leant CTV some footage to do with John's (the "NZTS") story but nothing has ever come of it (The story and my footage, thunderstorms just aren't important

) and tonight was the last show of this thing produced by the folk at the broadcasting school here in Chch. Second time I have been dissapointed so no more! Unless they pay up front.

I've also sent what I would've thought were good lightning pics to TV One but to no avail. Then the next night they show some boring picture of a cloud (the "windy" picture from the MetSoc photography competition comes to mind as to the type of picture they would show with the clothes blowing on the clothes-line). No more.........

Cheers
