CTV

One of the great experiences of supporting events at the BC Canada Place here in Torino was meeting the CTV team -- including Murray, Brent, Kevin, and Vicki (apologies if I've missed some people). If you want to get a real sense for how media functions on the ground during such a crazy news period as the Olympics, check out Murray's blog, aka Chopper Murman. These guys are working super hard and going through a lot, and for such a sustained amount of time that the fatigue levels are astounding.

Murray has been doing a fantastic job of chronicling the experience with words and pictures on his blog, which he started right at the beginning of the Torino experience. I like this post about filming a typical Italian family's reaction to the open ceremonies (since non-rights holders can't cover ANY events that take place directly at official Olympic venues). They ended up editing the shots directly at the dinner table -- check out The Opening:
