Broadcast Engineer & Multicam Director | Plus find me snooping around radio stations trying not to break things 📻 | (He/Him, 23, 🏳️‍🌈)
Currently rehearsing for Notts TV’s final ever full length news show.

We’re live across Nottinghamshire on Freeview channel 7 from 17:30, and on demand from just after 18:30.

Proud to be directing this final full programme.

Haven’t posted in a little while, I’ve been busy with a big editing backlog and had some time off ill.

But I’m now back in the big seat, directing the news live on Notts TV in just a few minutes time! 😀

Plus we caught up with the team at Kettering’s Lighthouse Theatre to watch KD Theatre’s absolutely fantastic pantomime one last time.

A very productive weekend I reckon… now to kickback and enjoy the new years celebrations! See you in 2025! 🎆

Alongside this, Charlie Stone and I got Studio B up and running ahead of @northants2.co.uk launching in February and we redecorated our lobby to create a much more welcoming space!
December 31, 2024 at 2:46 PM
On Sunday we ran an end of year meeting and training session, marking the highest performing year for NN Media and @northants1.co.uk to date.

Craig Pattison very generously came along to support a handful of our team with some presenter coaching and a workshop in our Studio A.

Little Christmas gift to myself… just finished building a new workstation pc for my studio! Of course it’s rack mounted, and paired with a line interactive UPS… plus the ram does pretty colours 🤣

Was a lot of fun to build a pc for the first time in a while!

My final bit of telly for 2024 complete! I directed and vision mixed @nottstv.bsky.social’s Notts Today news programme earlier this evening - and now that’s a wrap on my making of TV for this year 🙌

Yesterday I was out on my final outside broadcast of the year with High Peak 1, this time in New Mills.

I did all the techy bits to get the station on air from the Torr Vale Tap :)

Panto number 2! Beauty and the Beast at Kettering’s Lighthouse… what can I say other than that the bar has been raised for Panto! Oh my that was good!

Plus it was great catching up with team at the theatre and the cast after the show 😊

I really enjoy this time of the year, popping along to pantos with press seats :) - the @northants1.co.uk review of Corby’s Panto will be out over the next week.

Tonight I’m watching Beauty and the Beast at Kettering’s Lighthouse Theatre!

I’ll be all panto’d out! (Oh no I won’t!)

Last night I went along to the Core at Corby Cube to watch Little Wolf Entertainment’s production of Jack and the Beanstalk! Had really high expectations after seeing many Little Wolf productions in Derby, and needless to say their panto magic translated brilliantly to the smaller stage!

Over at Nottingham Trent university yesterday and today running the room monitors and graduation livestream.

Operating 3 Panasonic PTZ’s, a BMD Atem and vMix for VT’s - tied together with companion and streamed by a slice encoder.

It was a bit of a hectic show behind the scenes yesterday, but this adorable moment when Hugo looked down camera 2 and introduced the next item was brilliant!
December 10, 2024 at 5:10 PM
Given the delayed Spotify Wrapped yesterday, Northants 1 from NN Media finally shared ours on Facebook and Instagram earlier today, with the five biggest songs on the station this year, plus some fun stats about listenership!

Was about to walk out of work earlier when I spotted someone I work with running around with only 15 mins to live… the presenter wireless IEM’s had stopped working!

I jumped in helped sort a quick wired solution and stood by in the studio to help bridge the gap from the gallery to Al the presenter.
December 2, 2024 at 6:13 PM
I player a critical role in building additional gallery spaces for this programme. Pic 1 = Sound | 2 = Gameplay Mix Gallery (& videowall) | 3 = PTZ & racking (where during the show I racked 17 of the 19 cameras used on the show)

This was a fab prod to work on!
November 30, 2024 at 4:57 PM
This is cool - I had a major involvement with getting ‘Game On! For BBC Children In Need’ on air last year, and last night the programme won its second award! Brill news!
November 30, 2024 at 4:57 PM
Spot of floor managing this evening!
November 29, 2024 at 8:24 PM
Can’t believe it’s now over six years since I stood on a flight case and pointed a camera at Jools Holland in Sheffield City Hall - this was probably the third ‘pro’ broadcast I’d worked on at this point… and 6 years later I’m still doing what I love!
November 29, 2024 at 10:43 AM
A bit of (nearly) everything on todays show at work - spot of camera operating for the headlines with @markdennison.bsky.social in the studio, some PTZ operating during chats - on the fly fixes, dealing with processing the VOD and some scheduling stuff - home time now!
November 27, 2024 at 7:24 PM
After a week at work, with racks of gear… what better way to unwind ahead of the weekend… than coming home and continuing to work on my own rack this Friday evening 🤣🤣
November 22, 2024 at 8:26 PM
And thanks to a delayed RX today… a very quick turnaround for the studio was needed ahead of Notts Today (local news programme) - which today also needed some lines setting up for a music performance at the end of the show.

That’s on air from 17:30 - but I’m going home now 😴
November 20, 2024 at 5:03 PM
Brill day today - was in Notts to direct and vision mix today’s episode of Team Talk for Notts TV.

It airs this evening from 8pm on Freeview 7 in Nottinghamshire.
November 20, 2024 at 5:01 PM
I even got some locally made jam gifted to me! Still need to try some on my toast 😋
