Ty,
I have not worked for Northwest, but I have done ENG work for FSN Southwest.
Mostly sitdown interview sound several days prior to the game for use as
"inserts" during the broadcast, etc. On game day the audio crew from the
production trucks they had booked handled the on field stuff, parabolic mic
and broadcast booth sound, things like that. My cameraman and I did post
game locker room or interview room interviews, live, or to tape depending on
the importance of the game. As far as Fox Sports, the people I worked with
were professional, easy to get along with, and basically allowed us to do
our job. Their rates weren't the best in the world, but I negotiated
something I could live with. They paid on time. I would recommend them, yes.

Best, Steve Osmon
