This picture isn't the best of quality, I had to do a lot of enhancing on it so you can see the wall behind the computer. But I think it's worth it because it's a fun story.
This is the inside of one of the edit/logging bays at the station. That colorful decoration you see on the wall...tape labels. FOX-4 was bought away from Fox network last September. That meant they didn't get the same tech updates network stations did, so they're still editing off of old tape decks. Each story when it's finished get put on its own tape and is assigned a label that's color specific to the show it's going in. That tape is then given to another editor who creates a master tape for the control room. Somebody before my time took those colored tape labels and gave the bay a very unique wallpaper.
When I first started at the station it was a running joke that "The Mizzou Intern doesn't know how to use a tape deck...yet." They just thought that was hilarious.
But now I do...and I told them if they ever wanted to come out of the stone age and learn capture card to give me a call.
