Georgia Gameday

Georgia Gameday is new to me this semester. Gameday is a live weekly sports show that only runs during fall semesters. It focuses solely on UGA football. From a technical aspect it runs very similar to Newsource 15. Both shows are run out of the same studio.

However if you go into a taping of Gameday the buzz around the control room is different from Newsource. The show for one has more graphics. We operate with 2 green screens. One for the host and one for the two panelist. The background for the panelist is a virtual studio while the graphic for the host is a simple graphic.

Gameday also tends to do more live shots than Newsource. Many occur around the stadium or North Campus where several football traditions began. Also while in the control room there is a more relaxed atmosphere. I believe it is because even the talent for Gameday is volunteer. Everyone equally wants to be involved in the show.
