[Avid-L2] Re: Why isn't Avid marketing all over this story?

Gee Mark I guess you never had the pleasure of trying to get a straight answer about M2 format from anyone at NBC. I had that joy when Panasonic was trying to cram it down my throat with all kinds of promises back in the early 90's. Fortunately with 1100 segments to shoot we went BetaSP and all was well. I will never forget the robotic tone my friends in NBC technical management would take when I asked them about M2. It was like holding a conversation with the original Talking Moose on a Mac classic. Perhaps you missed my sarcasm or did you like M2? ;-) Just kidding nobody could like M2 could they?

For a wide variety of reasons, we often are NOT able to promote the news that we're using a specific piece of equipment or vendor on a show. I can recall a situation a long time ago when a particular company wanted to tell the world about what we were doing. Turns out, the network that we happened to work most closely with had a HUGE marketing partnership with a company based in Seattle. (Hint: they didn't make coffee or airplanes) Long story short... no permission to use images from the show.
