TV station seeks "biggest Gator fan" on Skype

By My status Howard Wolinsky on January 5, 2009 in In the news.

WTSP in Tampa couldn't be more psyched about the Florida Gators taking on the Oklahoma Sooners.

Reporter Janie Porter in Fort Lauderdale used Skype to conduct her search for the "biggest Gator fan."

She even found some guy who claimed to swim with the gators--apparently alligators--in a swamp.

Porter's on-air colleague's marveled at how Skype, which they previously had considered to be a phone service, could be adapted to broadcast use.

Porter said she set up the whole wireless broadcast by herself with Skype. The news team declared Skype as the wave of the future, enabling TV reporters to more mobile than ever.
