I work right next door to KYW-3, the CBS affiliate in Philadelphia. In what seems to be a trend in recent years, they have a street-level studio, which looks out onto the corner of 5th and Market. I believe that they do the morning news from this particular studio (I know they don't use it for the evening news).
One of these mornings, I am going to try and get on TV, i.e. stand outside the window and look like an ass. I'm not sure if they block off that area in the morning, but it can't hurt to try...I'll just stand out there for a minute and wave like a moron. I just have to get myself motivated enough to be down there before 7 in the morning.
I may do a casing first and see if it's possible. If so, I will post a date and time when I will try to be a TV personality.
