FTV

We had one field trip in this afternoon- Formosa TV (FTV), a television station  began broadcasting on June 11, 1997. FTV was not only the forth wireless TV station after TTV, CTV, and CTS, but also the first private TV station in the history of Taiwan.

This was my first time to visit TV station, so I was excited and can't wait to go. We arrived there early, so we took rest in their meeting room, where we can Taipei 101. We took lots of picture there, and some of us even started role playing.

About 2 p.m., we had a video, and then Peter shared something about his working experience, useful suggestions and so on to us. Maybe because Peter touched some political issues, the atmosphere became a little heavy.

Finally, we waited the moment to visit studios. The first one is for traffic report. The room is not big as I think, but the facilities are very complete. It really surprised me.

The second one is for English news report. Jinny Chang, one of anchor for Formosa News, introduced lots about the studio and their work environment to us. For example, when they reported, behind them is a plain blue screen. What we saw on the TV is additional added.

Happy time always flies very fast, so we all reluctantly when we wanted to leave. By the way, before we left FTV, we met Trong Chai, the CEO of FTV, and  took picture with him. Happy ending!
