COVID-19 is Changing Television, Possibly Forever

Call it too much time on my hands, stuck-at-home-itis, or my obsession with how technology not only changes lives but how it’s often used to fill in gaps we never saw coming.

Scroll back 45 days to a time before the Coronavirus, before a series of seemingly unrelated letters—COVID-19—became a forever part of our daily discourse. Life was on a predictable path. Technology was everywhere, but it also had its time and place. We used it more as a tool, not a lifeline.

The pandemic changed that. With millions of us working from home for the first time, we rely on technology to, if we’re lucky, keep us employed and connected. We collectively experienced the almost universal adoption of Zoom (and the backlash) and even the tech-averse learned new digital skills without which they might be cut off from friends, family, and co-workers.

Even our news and entertainment has changed, and not subtly but in distinct and highly visible ways.

Live from The Basement

As I watched Saturday Night Live’s first show in over a month, a not-live compilation cobbled together with webcams, video conferencing, and Bluetooth headphones, I thought, and not for the first time, that this is really the AirPod’s moment. If you’re not watching Netflix (actually even if you are—check out the Tiger King and I special), you may be tuning into local and national morning news and entertainment shows like Good Morning America, The Today Show, and Live with Kelly and Ryan and marveling at the Bluetooth headset’s ubiquity.

Since mid-March all these shows had one or more hosts broadcast from home. I’ve done my share of Skype news interviews from my home office, but these broadcasts are different. Instead of pre-recording, chopped up, and neatly packaged interviews, the hosts were on live (often for hours at a time) and so were their remote guests.

I’ve done enough television to know that this is something new, different, and possibly very difficult. I wanted to understand how these shows are doing it, why they’ve made certain technology choices (why AirPods?) and why what they’re doing today probably wasn’t even possible a decade ago.

As Live as Live Gets

Since 2012, I’ve been a guest on Live with Kelly and Ryan, a national morning show shot in New York City and beamed from coast-to-coast (West Coast sees it on a delay). I usually go on to demonstrate the latest gadgets and software, but now I was marveling at the show’s own use of technology to live-stream what is often referred to as Live with Kelly and Ryan "homemade edition" virtually every single weekday.

On March 20, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered everyone except essential workers to stay at home. Three days later, the show broadcast its first live-streamed show.

In a real-world case of “Stars, They’re Just Like Us,” show hosts Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest, along with Executive Producer Michael Gelman (and the rest of the show’s crew) started following stay at home guidelines while trying to figure out how to put on a show.

“The challenge was, here, on very short notice, we realized we’d have to produce these shows remotely,” said Gelman, who’s been executive producing the show for 32 years.
