Kara Sykes held the door. "That's fine. You'll go on in a few minutes, so we don't have much time. Please come this way." We followed her down a long hall, then through a newsroom filled with desks and production people and onto the news set. A man and a woman were seated at the anchor desk, facing cameras fitted with TelePrompTers. A floor director was standing between the cameras with his hand touching the TelePrompTer that the man was reading from. There were places at the anchor desk for a sportscaster and a weatherperson, but those seats were empty. The set was built so that the anchors were seated with their backs to the newsroom so the audience could see that the Channel Eight news team was bringing them personal news personally. Kara whispered, "Lyle Stodge and Marcy Bernside are the five o'clock anchors. Lyle is going to interview you.
