You got a grant. Bought cameras, a switcher, wireless transmitters. Students were excited for two days. Then nobody knew how to set it up. Admin asks why the $5,000 investment hasn't improved the broadcast. You don't have a good answer. You're reading the equipment manual during a live broadcast while students stand around waiting for instructions. The problem isn't your gear. It's the order.
Gear amplifies whatever you already have. If you have systems, gear makes them better. If you have chaos, gear makes the chaos more expensive.
— Taylor Siebert, Broadcast Ops Playbook Ep. 6
WHAT'S INSIDE THE GUIDE
A 5-Level Roadmap From One Camera to a Full Studio
- Fill-in-the-blank fields for your 3–5 core broadcast roles
- Pre-game, during-game, and post-game task breakdowns for each position
- A "Starting Lineup" assignment table — student name, backup, and ready status for each role
- A Role Reference Guide with detailed examples for Producer, Director, Announcer, and Camera Operator
How to Use the Guide
Three steps. Find your level, check your systems, plan your next move.
Find Your Level
Use the self-assessment to figure out where your program is right now. Be honest — most programs are one level lower than they think.
Check Your Systems
Before buying anything, make sure you have the roles, training, and checklists for your current level. Gear without systems always disappoints.
Plan Your Next Step
Use the guide to see exactly what gear, roles, and training you need for the next level. Then build toward it — one level at a time.
Real programs. Five different levels. Every one of them started with one camera and a clear system.
