If you caught our 'seamless' 2022 Calgary Stampede Parade coverage, it's highly unlikely you had any idea the herculean, award-worthy effort it took to bring the show to air.
The old adage “the show must go on” was put to the test during Global News Calgary’s coverage of the 2022 Calgaryawarded Global News Calgary with a gold medal award Thursday night for multi-platform coverage for a problematic, but what proved to be not insurmountably so, parade show.
“Getting to host the Calgary Stampede Parade is one of the highlights of the year, every year,” said Dallas Flexhaug, aanchor, who hosted parade coverage in 2022 alongside Blake Lough. “There was so much anticipation, having it be the first large parade in the country since the pandemic.”Mere hours before the start of the parade, the Rogers outage downed all communication and transmission capability, and discussions were held about cancelling the parade broadcast.
“I remember saying, ‘If we can see the pictures and hear the sounds, we will figure it out,’” recounted Flexhaug. “ But, I’ve got to be honest, not having communication channels between the studio, control room and various places in the field was a huge wrench, and I wasn’t sure how it would all turn out.“Thankfully, I work with the best team in television and we pulled it off.
