Hello guys and girls, i've been stalking reddit for a while and i finally decided to sing up and create an AMA. You guys are the funniest and interesting people on the internet :) but anyways like the title says: I work at a small Mexican Tv Station named TVM Campeche. I'm from a fairly unknown mexican state located on the Yucatan peninsula called San Francisco de Campeche. Born, raised and still living on the state capital, Campeche. I'm a 22 years old guy which started learning english on his own at the age of 6... i still kinda suck at it so please bear with me.

Random facts about me:
* I used to play bass on a now defunct band called Abuelita de Batman (translates to Batman's Granny) I also play guitar and a bit of drums. All of them self-taught... I suck at all of them too.
* My first jobs were at small local hotels as a desk clerk.
* I have a scar on my right cheek and two moles in my left eye.
* Used to have my hair dyed blue/green.
* I didn't know anything (stil learning) about "TV making" until i got here, i don't even watch TV.

Proof

EDIT: Thank you guys for your awesome questions, keep them coming i'll definitely answer them a bit later. Time for me to sign off. See your later :)

EDIT: Where still live boys and girls, keep 'em coming.

FINAL EDIT: That's it boys and girls, let wrap this AMA up. Thank you all for you awesome questions, i've had a great time answering. Have a great Monday :)

Has the violence from the cartels affected you or your work? What do you think should be done to help the issues?

falsAlJB86 karma

I'm glad that you ask this. Definitely no, our state has almost none of that cartel bullshit. It's a pretty safe place to live. We do have crime, but just small thefts here and there and the ocassional murder, but believe me, we're pretty laid back people. And anwsering you're other question: I think we should legalize everything and establish some help centers against addiction and safe use.

hals31841 karma

Could you please post a picture of your weather girl? We need to know if it's a legit station and all.

falsAlJB40 karma

Hahah unfortunately we don't have a weather girl :(

Loves2watch41 karma

How do you feel about Yanet Garcia?

falsAlJB124 karma

I'm getting some hard feelings about her

GodofthetwoRivers26 karma

How do the people living in Yucatan and more generally in the southern border states feel about the migrants moving to and thru Mexico from Central American countries?

falsAlJB20 karma

I totally miss this question, im very sorry. But answering your question: At least in my city doesn't seem to be a problem about them. We just don't see them as a threat to our country, on the contrary it's pretty unsafe for them trying to pass through over here. It's like the elephant in the room, everyone knows it's there but no one talks about it. Some of then end up asking for coins on buses.

etray19 karma

Can you tell us about any funny/unexpected things happening during your live broadcasts?

falsAlJB59 karma

There was this time when one of our hosts fell asleep live. He's 90+ years old and he is also a pioneer on the radio industry of my city. Pretty fun guy, curses and smokes a lot.

etray7 karma

Woah, I guess that guy really appreciates having a good nap! Even live on TV :)

falsAlJB24 karma

Yeah, and he's sane enough for his age. He can remember everything, i have mad respect for him.

Aeroflight14 karma

Do you guys make original content or do you mostly play syndicated stuff?

falsAlJB23 karma

We have our live shows, some are about culture, we have a hip hop/rap music one, others about our city's "personalities" and we even have a local news show but most of the time we're playing music, theatre plays, monologues, etc. Mostly cultural stuff :)

PMmeYOURrear4 karma

How many of your original programs are derived from more mainstream shows?

Or is the whole trope about Mexican versions of popular shows and characters mostly made up?

falsAlJB7 karma

I think none, there's an "established" format for programs in this city. They end up talking and even looking the same. Like i said, mostly cultural stuff.

Rihannas_forehead10 karma

Hola amigo. Where in the world would you like to visit?

falsAlJB29 karma

I would love to visit Mongolia, they have an awesome culture and beautiful landscapes. I also love their "throat singing" techniques.

Dogribb6 karma

falsAlJB6 karma

Hahah I used to watch bizarre foods. Some bizarre food you can get here is stingray, their skin can make any sharp knife into a blunt knife.

Dogribb2 karma

Whats going on for Easter Church,family and food?

falsAlJB1 karma

Getting drunk in the beach and eating shellfish it's what going on.

pu3hag10 karma

Hello from Brazil!

Are you guys already generating content in HD? What cameras are you using (actual professional cameras or SLRs)? How's editing these days, is it all non-linear or you still use tapes?

Thanks for the AMA :)

falsAlJB14 karma

We're still making the conversion to HD and we use professional studio cameras. Editing is made entirely on Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premier. We stop using tapes a long ago, we have a digital video library, all packed into a server.

system377 karma

Are you broadcasting digitally yet? I read that the digital switchover is being done in Mexico on a market basis instead of across the country all at once.

falsAlJB8 karma

Yes, the digital switch is effective since december, but we're still investing in our new equipment. Our bodies are ready :)

MassiosareK10 karma

Hola. Un hermano q viajo hace unos 20 años a Yucatan nos contó que hay mucha discriminación hacia las personas indígenas, que las mujeres caminan abajo de las banquetas??! Wtf! Que nos puedes comentar sobre eso? Hablando de otra cosa, que sistema operativo, que computadoras usan en tu trabajo? Ahora que estas haciendo televisión estas viendo algún show en especial?

falsAlJB7 karma

Pues honestamente no he estado mucho tiempo en Yucatan para afirmarte, pero de ser cierto es una pena que discriminen a los indigenas, y jamas habia escuchado que las mujeres caminaran por debajo las banquetas. La mayoria de nuestras computadoras son Mac y por el momento no veo nada, solo escucho el nuevo disco de Faith No More :) Saludos!

g_r_e_y14 karma

Translation: What's your favorite band? Answer: Faith No More

falsAlJB3 karma

This guy/girl got it haha

UnholyPrepuce7 karma

Have you ever eaten barbequed iguana, or is that more of a radio thing?

falsAlJB12 karma

That's more of a newspaper guys thing... radio guys love warthog tho

wabawanga3 karma

Probably more local to Tijuana.

falsAlJB5 karma

I've heard some small towns eat monkeys or serpents. I can totally understand eating a serpent, but monkeys? Nu-uh

cocuke6 karma

Is there really a TV station for small Mexicans? What do they show? Do small Mexicans have their own radio stations as well? Gracias.

falsAlJB17 karma

Yes there is, we mostly show the injustices of living in a big peoples world. And they definitely have their own radio station. They talk about pretty much the same as our Small Mexicans TV Station. :)

swishymcgee3 karma

Mexican Radio is the best!

falsAlJB2 karma

I know i have heard this song before, but i can't remember where.

Brainsonastick5 karma

What genre of television is popular with small Mexicans?

falsAlJB6 karma

We'll southern mexicans are pretty small in stature so, small people isn't really small people. They like our religious show.

Alan_Smithee_5 karma

So, what's Bumblebee guy really like? (Joking)

You're probably one of the few people still working in a real TV station. Here in Canada, outside of the larger cities, tv has really changed. Very little local production.

falsAlJB3 karma

I had no idea about TV production in other countries, to me, making tv on this city is pretty simple. There's not that many production involved. Programs end up talking and looking the same.

mmherzog4 karma

How hot is the weather girl? Pics? Links?

falsAlJB9 karma

We dont have a weather girl... i know, it's sad.

degjo3 karma

How about a girl?

falsAlJB25 karma

This station is a sausage fest, we also don't let women vote or drive

newharddrive2 karma

Dude, you need to get a local weather girl! Get some hot babe to do it for free/cheap.

falsAlJB2 karma

That's the problem, no one willing to do it for free.

OverHard3 karma

Hay una presencia indigena en tu provincia? Me interesa mucho la cultura mexicano y la influencia de los nativos.

falsAlJB13 karma

Of course, and we're proud of it. The most prominent indigenous culture in our city is the mayan. There are small towns around the state that still speak the mayan language, some people still retain their mayan surnames. We even use mayan slang when we speak. Our cuisine. Little fact about my city's name: Campeche used to be called Ah Kim Pech, which means "Land of Serpents and Ticks"

Eye_Pod3 karma

That is awesome!

Use_The_Sauce3 karma

Pretty certain calling your City "land of serpents and ticks" doesn't exactly bring the boys to the yard. I can see why the marketing department renamed it. /s

falsAlJB5 karma

Yeah, but we do have a lot of serpents and tick. We're just being honest.

etray3 karma

How many people does it take to run a TV station like yours and what are your responsibilities there?

falsAlJB11 karma

Since it's a small station it only takes about 15 people to get this running. It's a very do-whatever-you-like place. You want to learn editing or do camera stuff, you can do it. Most of the people here knows how to do everything. My main responsability is Broadcasting. To put it simple: I put our shows live and "switch" or mix camera shots on live programs.

swingawaymarell3 karma

¿Hola cómo estás? Mi nombre es Swingawaymarell , ¿cuál es tu nombre ?

falsAlJB5 karma

Muy bien, disfrutando sus preguntas mientras pretendo trabajar. Mi verdadero nombre es Alejandro. Dime swingawaymarell, el español es tu idioma nativo?

swingawaymarell1 karma

¡¿Seguro por que no?!

¿Qué se hace para la estación exactamente? Se puede arreglar las cosas ? Puedo arreglar las cosas demasiado .

falsAlJB3 karma

Mi responsabilidad es la de Transmision (Broadcasting). Pongo programas, musica y obras teatrales al aire. Arreglar cosas? A veces.

Puedo arreglar las cosas demasiado
Do you mean that you can fix things too?

ElKaBongX3 karma

Que Pasa?

falsAlJB7 karma

No mucho, y tu que tal?

ElKaBongX5 karma

Haha, sorry man, you just saw the extent of my Spanish unless you'd care to hear about options from Taco Bell

falsAlJB16 karma

Haha, that's pretty good. Please tell me about Taco Bell. We don't have that here and almost unrelated but we used to have a KFC but it went down pretty fast, Church's Chicken won the battle of processed chicken.

alucard3333 karma

What is the worst part of your job?

falsAlJB11 karma

Down time and weekends. Sometimes we have a lot of down time, it gets worst on the weekends were you can get bored pretty quickly. I have the coolest co workers, on weekdays when we don't have nothing to do we spend our time, playing jokes or bullying eachother, eating junk food or smoking until we have work to do. We're pretty efficient :)

Sil3693 karma

curious: what is causing the down time? waiting for shows to finish airing?

are you doing this ama during work? ;)

falsAlJB3 karma

It's actually the contrary, waiting for live shows causes our down time, almost everything has become automatized, most of the time we're airing music videos or theatre plays. We love culture over here hehe

falsAlJB5 karma

Almost forgot, yes i was working. Right now i'm at home, i recently came back from the club and ain't even drunk :(

RodrigoFrank3 karma

Can you explain some cultural differences that exist between Northern Mexico and Southern Mexico? I've only been to the Northern part but know people from Southern Mexico and it seems like they have really different culture.

falsAlJB5 karma

At least in my city we're laid back friendly people. We treat anyone as our friend. I've visited others states of the peninsula and the country and they're also cool people But to me, culturally speaking, Mexico stays the same everywhere.

BuleDKI3 karma

Thank you for doing this! Here are my questions. First, do you show movies? Do you have a library of old movies to show? What format do you use, as in DVD or video? What type of movies are popular with your viewers? Second, are you broadcasting 24/7-all day, every day? Third, do you have any cool ideas for new shows for the station. Fourth, have you ever seen the film UHF, starring Weird Al Yankovic-which is all about programming at a small station-and do you like it? Fifth, about how many viewers do you have? And sixth, how big is your market in Campeche?

Again, thanks for sharing!

falsAlJB5 karma

  • Do you show movies?

We don't show movies, only theatre plays or any interesting cultural event, music videos, live shows, and their reruns.

  • Are you broadcasting 24/7-all day, every day?

We do broadcast 24/7, when it's 00:00 A.M. we put everything we played throughout the day on loop.

  • Have you ever seen the film UHF, starring Weird Al Yankovic-which is all about programming at a small station-and do you like it?
    I've read about the movie and no, i haven't seen it yet. But i'm looking forward to see it, so no spoilers please :) BTW i love Weird Al's music parodies, specially "Amish Paradise"

  • About how many viewers do you have?
    I actually don't know, and i may sound rude but we don't even care lol.

  • How big is your market in Campeche?
    It will sound stupid but our tv station doesn't sell publicity, which is the main income of a Tv station. So our market is pretty small, but some of my co workers an myself are opening a marketing and publicity department because our admins are some big lazyasses and to make extra bucks. We just got "greenlit" from our boss (wealthy old man) so, well see.

Thank you for your questions, have a good one :)

BuleDKI3 karma

I just found a link for the trailer for UHF.

falsAlJB4 karma

Looking forward to see the movie :)

Dogribb3 karma

Favorite candy? Is there a regional alcohol there that no one has hard of?

falsAlJB9 karma

I don't eat to much candies but i love chocolate covered raisins and milky ways and anything with chilli powder.

There's this one called Xtabentun, it's a mayan liqueur made of fermented honey from bees fed with xtabentun flower and anise.

renernavilez11 karma

Carlos V debe de ser tu respuesta. No "milky way." jaja

falsAlJB5 karma

Hahah no me gusta el Carlos V, prefiero comer una tableta de Chocolate Abuelita.

renernavilez2 karma

Jaja y yo prefiero comer arena que chocolate abuelita. Eso no es chocolate. Es mugrero la verdad jaja

falsAlJB2 karma

Hahah hereje! Quemenlo en la hoguera!

O8N0X10U51 karma

I'm late to the party, but that part of Mexico is beautiful. We stayed at the Bahia Principe resort, (don't know of you're heard of it) in 2012. Our Tulum tour guide told us about Xtabentun and said to ask to try it when we got back to the resort. The bartender sent us home with two bottles. It's awesome with a little lime juice.

falsAlJB1 karma

You may be talking about Cancun, Quintana Roo. Tulum is located there, but i agree with you Cancun is a beautiful place with unbelievable beaches. I have yet to try xtabentun, i'm more of a rum/whiskey kinda guy

ManBitesDoge3 karma

My best friend founded a web-series and other content dedicated to Mexican and Mexican-Americans. Is there a chance for me to connect you guys by email or anything?

falsAlJB5 karma

Shure! Send me an E-mail and well see. I'll send you a PM.

MetropolisPt312 karma

What telenovelas do you show? Do you show any classic shows? (Descanse en paz, Roberto Gómez Bolaños.) Is Chabelo still dressing up like a creep?

(I lived in Sinaloa as a kid from 1985-88.)

falsAlJB4 karma

We don't show telenovelas, Televisa and TV Azteca (Big tv empires) are in charge of those things and No, no classic shows.

Chabelo stop dressing like a creep about three or four months ago when his show got canceled (48 years, that's a long run if you ask me), but maybe he still does it for the Narcos. Who knows ;)

xpersona2 karma

Esta buena la paga en ese trabajo? Tuviste que estudiar algo especial en la universidad para conseguir ese trabajo?

falsAlJB3 karma

Ni siquiera he terminado el bachillerato, Como en casi todo Mexico o al menos aqui, conocer a la persona correcta te puede ayudar. 850 pesos a la semana te parece bueno haha? En otros lugares la paga es muchisimo mejor, pero no hay vacantes.

LL372 karma

¿Oye como va?

falsAlJB8 karma

Mi ritmo, bueno pa' gozar... mulata.

LL372 karma

Do people really use that saying or is it more of a ¿Qué onda?

manwhoel2 karma

Nobody uses it.

falsAlJB4 karma

Exactly, we never used that in the first place. A simple "que pedo" or my favorite "Que transita por tus venas" is enough. They literally mean "What fart" and "whats runs through your veins" respectively.

yodacoder2 karma

How does a power outage affect you and the station?

falsAlJB10 karma

Usually our electricity supplier notify us when there's going to be power outages and then we notify our viewers so it's all cool. But luckily, it rarely happens :)

KantLockeMeIn2 karma

Is cochinita pibil popular in Campeche? I've been craving it lately, it's been too long since I've visited QR.

For us gringos who typically go to Playa del Carmen when we go to the Yucatan, would you recommend taking a side trip to your state? As a local, what are some of your favorite places to visit?

falsAlJB4 karma

Very popular. The real cochinita pibil it's made buried. And yes, definitely come here. We have a lot of cool museums and also a lot of mayan vestiges. You should definitely try "pan de cazón". The cazón it's a small shark, some big restaurants trick people telling them they're eating real cazón but they give them stingray, which doesn't taste bad but obviously it's not the same taste. Stingray it's a great dish on it's own. Some people think that if you get slapped with its tail you'll get struck by lightning.

RaymieHumbert2 karma

¿Cómo crees que cambiará la industria televisiva en México con la llegada de Cadena Tres, las dos frecuencias locales comerciales asignadas para San Francisco de Campeche y los cambios tecnológicos que sufren las televisoras?

Y, como son ustedes un canal cultural, ¿han explorado ustedes la idea de solicitar una frecuencia abierta para uso social y entrar al mercado de TV abierta?

falsAlJB3 karma

No creo que cambie mucho, Televisa y Tv Azteca tienen controlado todo el medio. Lo que pienso que pasará es que la televisión se volvera un medio anticuado, de por si ya lo es. Eso si, no esperes que pase en poco tiempo. Muchas televisoras le apuestan al internet. La televisión buscar la manera de estar presente a través de internet, pero requiere muchos cambios de formato y ademas es una demográfica diferente. Personalmente me gustaria que estuviéramos en television abierta, con el cambio a la televisión digital es posible y tengo poco conocimiento en el tema pero he escuchado que para aprovechar el cambio a la señal digital necesitas de la renta de un satélite e imagino que son algo costosos hehe.

YJSubs2 karma

Where do your TV income coming from ? Are you cable (subscription) / terrestrial (freeTV)?
Small TV station in my Country cannot self sustained by them self, all were part of bigger network.
Without them, is simply cannot exist, since the (local) ad market is virtually not exist. No one want to put ad on local TV.

Is there any snippet of your TV program that i can watch ?
Can you list what your regular program look like ? What they cover ?
I open your TV webpage, but it's not in english.

Sorry for many question, but i'm really interested to see how Small TV work in other Country.

I'm non US btw, work in similar field as you.

falsAlJB3 karma

Like most tv stations over here, we're subsidized by the government. Father Government spends big bucks on media. But here's the catch, we can't talk to much smack about our government. We're on cable, by the way.
Yeah, our webpage is only spanish right now. I'm planning on a full translation, i just need a "thumbs up" to do it. You can watch some of our show promos in our youtube channel: TVM Campeche. Don't worry, i love answering them. What kind of job do you perform?

YJSubs1 karma

Currently not working anymore in station.
Like you, i perform many things, from editing, graphics, producer, camera hahaha...you know how it goes....
We're on terrestrial, and not 24/7 broadcast. On certain hour we switch to parent network.
Since we're virtually bleeding money, no room for expansion, can't make better program with very limited budget (which almost non existent). We don't subsidized by government, so on that regard, we pretty much free (usually just a talk show about local issue).

But hey, we have another thing in common, no weather girl either !
(since the weather is pretty much the same throughout the year,..lol)

falsAlJB2 karma

Exactly, we get our weather report from a specialized secretariat. And like your country, weather stays the same the whole year, there's no need for a weather girl haha. I would love to do graphics one day. Editing is fairly easy. From what i've seen, almost every job on a station requires a lot of creativity and a bit of practice. But anyways, is always nice to meet people who's used to working in tv. Have a great day :)

blackbutters2 karma

Are burritos your favorite food?

falsAlJB4 karma

Burritos are not very common over here, but my favorite food is definitely mole. You should try it.

blackbutters1 karma

Like the ones that dig up your yard and are blind?

falsAlJB2 karma

Hahah no, it's a brown kind of liquid paste(?) which is based on chocolate, and has some chili peppers and chicken. Some times we use mole for chilaquiles.

balthisar2 karma

I'm from a fairly unknown mexican state located on the Yucatan peninsula called San Francisco de Campeche.

Wait, what?!? I've never heard of that state! Oh, you mean Campeche; I forgot that a lot of the Mexican states have longer, formal names, e.g., Estado Libre y Soberano de Guanajuato that I don't hear used that often.

I feel kind of bad; I've been to Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Chiapas, Tabasco, and even managed to enter Guatemala undocumented, but never managed to step foot in Campeche. :(

falsAlJB3 karma

Hahah yeah i get you, that "san francisco de campeche" thing is just a formality. We just call this place campeche. And definitely come, i'll take you on a tour free of charge :)

ermockler2 karma

Do you feel a hot wind on your shoulder?

falsAlJB2 karma

No, but i feel the touch of a world that is older.

circlingldn1 karma

Can i be on tv when i come to cancun?

falsAlJB2 karma

Hahah don't know, we don't have a station in Cancun. But if you come to Campeche i'll pimp you into the sexiest host ever.

fuckkarma1 karma

You're interviewing Trump. What do you say?

falsAlJB4 karma

Me: Can i try it?
Trump:Try what?
Me: Your wig, can i?

carpy221 karma

Does your channel plan to air any sports?

falsAlJB2 karma

Not, not even a "hosts" based one. Other stations broadcast live baseball.

falsAlJB2 karma

I' dont think so, our channel is more into culture. So, definitely not.

last_strip_of_bacon1 karma

Do you like the band Molotov?

falsAlJB2 karma

Yeah, some songs. We use to cover a song called "mamar" by molotov, which is also a cover with a change of lyrics. Molotov tends to that to a lot of songs. The original song is called "Mamá" by Los amantes de lola.

bobthetechguy1 karma

Uno cerveza for me por favor?

falsAlJB1 karma

Sure, would you like some stella? Most of the mexican beer taste like pee. The only good ones are "indio" "dos equis" and "victoria"

bobthetechguy1 karma

Corona no bueno?

falsAlJB1 karma

Definitely no bueno, Victoria muy bueno.

Stickfygure1 karma

What kind of programming do small Mexicans prefer compared to the larger variety?

falsAlJB1 karma

Like i said earlier, they enjoy our religious show. :)

Indecisogurl1 karma

Qué interesante, he leído este thread por media hora y en serio me agrada.

Hace poco por fin me decidí a qué estudiar y es Comunicación, y me encantaría estar/trabajar/ver donde estás. Así que tengo unas preguntas, a ver si no es muy tarde jojo..

Cómo es que transmiten en vivo? Algo que me da mucha curiosidad es saber cómo envían las señales o algo, por decir tienes tu programa ya exportado en .mp4 y de alguna forma lo envías literalmente al aire?

Cómo salen a cortes comerciales?

No tienen alguna forma de ver cuantas tvs están sintonizando su canal? Ustedes eligen el número del canal? Como Canal5 (no sé si lo tengan allá, soy de Veracruz, saludos :)) y literalmente tenían su canal en el 5.

Editan sus programas al aire? O graban todo un mes antes y lo transmiten al aire un mes después de haberlo editado?

Leí que dices que tiene sus biblioteca de archivos en servidor, de dónde consiguen esos archivos? me imagino que son audios, fx, imágenes, vídeos, etc.

Como forman su programación?

Tengo más dudas pero se me han olvidado, jajaja, un saludo y espero no molestar con tantas preguntas. Saludos

Edit: Podrías enseñar una foto de cómo es su estudio o dónde tienen las pantallas de programación?

falsAlJB2 karma

El dia que vengas a Campeche aqui tiene una casa :) Honestamente yo no he estudiado comunicación, nunca imaginé trabajar en television para ser sincero. Simplemente fue una oportunidad que se presentó. Me parece genial que estudies comunicación, mucha gente por aqui dice que estudiar comunicación es bastante facil y no es por hablar mal de la carrera ni meterte ideas pero dicen que la carrera de comunicación a veces parece un curso y no una carrera. Pero bueno, como te comenté si algun dia vienes a Campeche ten la libertad de localizarme y te paseo por todos lados xD. Ahora, respondiendo tus preguntas. Transmitir en vivo: Tratare de no ser muy técnico, nosotros usamos computadoras Mac, en nuestras compus usamos un programa llama On the air video: el software te permite crear playlists y obviamente un playlist te permite poner ya sea canciones o videos. Cada programa o ya sea bloque horario tiene un playlist propio. Ahora ya tienes un playlist, al que tambien llamamos Playout, necesitas sacarlo al aire. Para eso usamos una tarjeta llamada Black Magic (también es el nombre de la compañía que las produce: BlackMagicDesign) dicha tarjeta es un convertidor, la tarjeta esta conectada a una botonera o matrix de video la cual a su vez esta conectada a un convertidor de audio y video llamado Pico Macom. El Pico envia la señal a nuestro provedor, en este caso izzi antes conocido como Cablemas, y el resto es historia. Izzi se encarga de incluso convertir nuestra señal a "digital", estamos empezando a hacer el cambio a television digital. Usamos tecnologia semi-analoga pero debido a la conversión que hace izzi seguimos Análogos. Espero esto resuelva tus dudas en cuanto a transmitir. Casi lo olvidaba el audio se saca atra vez de una consola de audio que tiene cables por doquier y parece estar en "Life support" Todos nuestros programas se graban en Dvd y ademas usamos otro aparatito Black Magic que usas discos SSD o cualquier disco duro con entadas Serial ATA o SATA para los cuates.

Los cortes comerciales son lo mas sencillo. Para hacer cambio entre camaras y macs necesitas un mezclador de video tambien conocido como "switcher". El switcher esta conectado al matrix de video y en matrix de video están conectadas todas nuestras macs o todo aparato que se use para transmitir video. Pero bueno, el switcher te permite cambiar entre que camara va al aire o que compu sale al aire. Le indicamos al conductor que puede mandar a corte y yo me encargo de "switchear" a corte comercial. Es algo dificil de explicar, solo viéndolo podrias entenderlo.

Saber cuantas tv's nos sintonizan no tengo idea, creo de eso se encarga alguna de las tantas secretarias municipales o estatales. Te mentiria si te dijera cuantas. En cuanto a numero se canal creo que si, pero imagino tienes que aflojar billetes, igual estoy un poco oscuras en ese tema, disculpa.

Si con editar programas al aire te refieres a que algo salió mal al aire y no quieres que vuelva a salir en una repetición. Si, si se hace. Ahora si te refieres a que grabamos un programa para cierta fecha, igual lo hacemos. Pero no toma tanto tiempo como piensas. A nuestro editor le toma ya sea entre media hora y 2 horas editar un programa grabado. Y no esta hecho "al chingadazo" como diriamos haha.

Todo el audio y video se saca de internet o de nuestra videoteca fisica. Y post producción se encarga del fx.

La programacion se fija cada semana y pues simplemente se cubren horarios con videos musicales y especiales (obras de teatro, conciertos, etc) hasta que es hora del noticiero o algun show en vivo. Y pues es al gusto de la encargada de programación hehe. Para nada, siempre encantado de responder dudas. Te debo las fotos, pero si quieres mandame MP y le tomo una fotitos mañana al canal.

JonSnowBaratheon1 karma

Donde esta la biblioteca?

falsAlJB1 karma

I don't read.

random-opinion1 karma

Mexican food or Mexican football, what would you broadcast?

falsAlJB3 karma

Mexican food, no doubt about it. I dislike football.

esquemo1 karma

Why do they only hire small Mexicans?

falsAlJB3 karma

Because we dislike tall people.

Yeeewch1 karma

What is your proudest moment?

falsAlJB6 karma

My proudest moment? Well, im very proud of being able to comunicate in two languages, and being able to buy the things i want without asking my parents. Makes me feel less like a burden.

clockwerx1 karma

Is your station interested in things like youtube? Ie blending typical content for TV with stuff for social media?

I see a few folks on YouTube trying to go the other direction, and would have a similar size production crew as you described before

falsAlJB2 karma

We post things on youtube, but most of them got removed by youtube's copyright system haha. We used to broadcast in our webpage but our pc got busted. We'll fix it this monday haha.

bobthetechguy2 karma

As a tech guy, need any tech support?

falsAlJB1 karma
