2 hours before the show

It's almost another 2 hours to go before we go on air.

I'm sitting in the editing suite waiting for my reporter to do her voice-overs for the stories and then we'll finalize the edits. There's only 2 stories for this week and the live guest in the studio.

There's the market summary report (what happened last week and what is going to happen this week); and a stock pick by an analyst (TRC Synergy).

I had to drop Sasha's story on Jobstreet as today's commercial break was longer than expected. Since the fasting month has started, the commercial breaks are little longer than usual.

The story will go on air on the 27th. Next week, there's no Stock Watch as we make way for Hari Raya programming. So, we'll be of the air for one episode, we'll be back on the 27th.

This holiday break will give us time to review what has happened through out the whole of the first season so far.

The thing about doing a live show is that it always feel like flying a plane. The viewers are the passengers; the production team is the flight crew and the interviews and stories we roll on air is the journey itself. The production team has to make sure its a smooth flight and that the viewers are comfortable through out the flight. Sometimes we get technical problems, but the priority is always to get the viewers to the end of the show.

Hopefully, we get to the end of the show safely today!
