ollie Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 It's no dream job since I'm paid to monitor " content " and video/audio quality on all the music channels: Much/MuchMore/Vibe/Loud/Reto and the new re-branded PunchMuch ( formally MTV 2 Canada ). There's only so many times I can listen to Lindsay Lohan, Shaun Paul or Ashley Simpson without going crazy.What are looking for in the content?

Jaimoe Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 I check/monitor audio and video levels for all the music programs, videos and scheduled commercials - plus I make sure that the video keys ( song and artist title ) and network " bugs " ( like you see in the bottom right corner of any program on any channel ) work properly. I also make sure the satellite/cable signals are functioning properly. I do have the power to reject programs, promos and videos if I find them unsuitable for air. However, I have no say in actual content referring to swearing and nudity. Programming and producers take care of that. Sometimes I can air a video of my choosing if I need to fill for time. On Retro I can get away with playing a Bruce Cockburn video or The Dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggzz Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Hey Jaimoe, does that mean you are in Master Control? I know a bunch of peeps who work at City/Much/Bravo, in fact I play on their soccer team. I went to school with a girl who works on BT, and I knwo a bunch of other folks. Out of curiosity how did you get your job? I hear it is pretty tough to get in there.Mr. Photogeek, I would recommend going to Loyalist as a last resort. It is a great program (I actually took the Television Broadcasting program there, but knoew a lot of people in the Photojournalism program). Great school but that's it for the town (and yes it's only a town not a city) It ain't called Hell-ville for nuthin!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggzz Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Oh and Jaimoe, as a K-town boy what's the deal with your Avatars? Are you from K-town? I'm representin Henderson Place yo! My fav is the Kingston Canadians one or the Voyageurs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Hey Diggaz,I'm from Glen Cairn Terrace and a proud J.R. Henderson Hawk. I'll be bringing back the Kingston Canadians avatar soon.Also, I'm indeed a MuchMusic/MuchMore/Loud/Vibe/Retro and PunchMuch master control op. I worked as a master op at Life Network but I never quit my part-time job on Electric Circus because I thought keeping a foot in the door at Chum would pay off down the road - which it did. When I was doing an EC live remote @ Canada's Wonderland, the technical producer wondered why I hadn't been hired full-time at the station yet. He then phoned my current boss and said that he should hire me for a vacant Bravo/Space master job. I got a little lucky, but I paid some serious dues and I am no phony weasel kiss-ass - If I was, I'd probably be a producer by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingbear Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 my train zoomed right by those crossroads. i sometimes wish i got off and explored, but currently love my "job". i'm a pediatric resident, and feel truly privleged to work with children everyday. The real, real bad part about it is on bad weeks i work over 100 hours, average about 80/week and thats ALL in the hospital. i have no assets asides from my education and have the debt of a small country. So if possible, enjoy the crossroads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
