During the hundreds of script changes and breaking news moments (no script) I anchored, our crew always stayed focused and calm. That energy filters through to the anchor and keeps the show on track. Producer communication is key—not too much to overwhelm, but just enough to keep everyone in sync and prepared for the next few minutes. The crew has their roles to play, but ultimately, the burden is on the anchor to keep the show in motion and provide value to the audience at that moment. That's when your preparation—both day of monitoring stories and long-term—truly pays off. It’s in those unscripted, unpredictable moments of breaking news or sudden loss of signal that you really earn your keep. The scripted part? That’s the easy part.

Do Not Stress ! there are always ways to work around things if the project needs a last minute change. Plan with the crew and talents on the change and on how to get it done, then go ahead and inform the client that it can be done! It happens a bit in production !

Production is all about problem solving and troubleshooting. Treat the script changes as a normal occurrence that the talent and crew will overcome. Bring everyone together and develop a plan to carry out the changes. Make sure everyone knows what they have to do and execute the plan. It’s all in a day’s work. The talent or crew member who can’t handle it will likely not be asked to join the team for the next project.

Stay calm. Be yourself, don't go into "Breaking News" mode. Talk about the information you know. Avoid speculation and guessing. Talk to the viewers as if they were sitting across the table from you. The secret to a successful broadcaster is the ability to treat the camera like it's a single individual. If you don't know something, just say you don't know, but you'll work to get the answers. Only do what you can do, don't try to go beyond that and you'll be fine.

Stay calm and composed. Gather key team members: Director, Writer, Producers, and relevant Department Heads. Quickly assess the script issue: identify the problem, its impact on the scene/shoot, and potential solutions. 1. Open discussion: Share concerns, ideas, and expertise. 2. Clarify the creative vision: Ensure everyone understands the director's intent. 3. Explore options: - Rewrite/revise the script. - Change camera angles or lighting. - Adjust blocking or actor movements. - Postpone shooting the scene. 4. Involve relevant experts: - Script Supervisor for continuity. - Production Designer for set adjustments. - Special Effects for alternative solutions.
