MASN Using Stock Footage To Make Washington Monument Prettier

One of the fun things about TV magic is that you can film a whole bunch of stock footage or B-Roll in 1-2 days, and then use that to portray what something looks like in the future without paying extra camera guys to go out and work night after night.

Well MASN appears to be utilizing this strategy.  Check out this footage of the Washington Monument at night:

Notice anything strange about that.  Well if you have been to DC recently you will.  Right now, the Washington Monument's bottom half is covered in scaffolding as they restore it from Earthquake damages.  The scaffolding was put up back in early March and is still there today.

It is no mystery that B-Roll is used, but should it not accurately portray the current times?  LOL the Nats are winning who cares about this!

Bob Carpenter Does Take 2 During Live Interview With Mike Rizzo

Here is a clip from the MASN post-game show where Bob Carpenter interviews Mike Rizzo live for TV.  Carp didn't really know he was live, so before his final question he tells the camera that the next question is for tomorrow, aka not live.

Bob stops Rizzo during his answer because he says "tomorrow" but the bit is airing tomorrow, so Bob tells him to take 2 and say "today".  It is a fun look at what happens behind the scenes.  Johnny Holiday and Ray Knight don't really know what to do.
