A note on terminology: The Technical Director (or TD) is the one who pushes buttons on the switcher during the newscast. At some stations (not sure if WFTS is among them), a Director is also present, generally just talking and not pushing buttons. The Producer is responsible for news content, communicating with the anchors in the studio and reporters in the field, ensuring the show finishes on time.
