Portsmouth turbine's TV debut
 |
| Channel 12 news truck at the Portsmouth WTG |
A news crew from Channel 12 did a live remote from the Portsmouth Wind Turbine tonight on the 6:00 news, featuring interviews with Economic Development Committee chair Rich Talipsky and former Town Council member Bill West. The two-minute story featured live shots with Channel 12 reporter Kathryn Sotnik highlighting the scale of the wind turbine blades, as well as the interview tape shot earlier in the day.
I had the chance to see the setup and watch the taping with Talipsky on what was a very cold evening up on the hill behind the high school. Several members of the EDC were there, as well as Town Councilor Jim Seveney.
And while this may be the TV debut of the WTG, this is just the first of many. According to Talipsky, a video crew from the National Geographic Channel will be on site over the next few days to document the installation for the series "World’s Biggest Fixes."
In case you missed it, here's the clip.

Hi, Bruce...
It's a great comparison, and one that I'll be using from now on. :)
And you have great photos there. (If you're reading this and you haven't checked out Bruce's Flickr stream, head on over.)
Cheers.
