Home games need
someone behind the camera.
Claim a position and it's yours — nobody else can take it. Crew call is before first whistle, not at it. If something comes up, drop the shift here rather than leaving a camera unstaffed.
What each role does
Line Producer
Runs the shoot before anyone presses record — books the crew, confirms call time and gear, and is the one point of contact with the athletic department if something changes.
Technical Director
Runs the broadcast from the switcher — calls which camera goes to air on the headset, then cuts to it, rolls replays, and punches in graphics live, with no do-overs.
Camera Operator
Owns one angle for the whole game — framing, following the play, and holding a steady, in-focus shot the Technical Director can actually cut to. This is Camera 1–3 on the board below.
Play-by-Play Announcer
The voice of the broadcast — calls the action as it happens, sets the scene, and keeps the audience with the game through the slow stretches.
Sideline Reporter
The broadcast's eyes off the field — coaches, injuries, crowd, and the story around the game, reported live from the sideline.
Score Keeper
Tracks the score, clock, and stats and feeds them to the crew — the announcers and the graphics all depend on this number being right.
