News anchor reveals all as students watch on TV On campus students got a live cable feed for several hours Tuesday. By Matt Hymowitz Collegian Staff Writer Hours after the news coverage of this week's terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C., began, students living on-campus got to see one reporter live and uncensored. A channel on Penn State's cable system showed the satellite feed of NBC, showing Pentagon reporter Jim Miklaszewski for several hours Tuesday night. In between his on-air appearances Miklaszewski, who has been with NBC News since 1985, sat outside the still-burning Pentagon chatting with the crew and colleagues around him. For much of the time, the camera was trained on the Pentagon in between long stretches of silence. But viewers did see Miklaszewski planning for his next live report by practicing his lines, checking on the latest casualty estimates and applying fresh makeup. Mike Binder (sophomore-communications) found the reporter's preparations to go on the air one of the more fascinating aspects of what he saw two nights ago. "I thought it was interesting to watch him warming up for it," he said. When Brian Piccione (freshman-mathematics) saw what was on television, he told everyone on his floor to watch it. "It was so funny," he said. "I flipped out when I saw it." A man who answered the phone at NBC News in Washington D.C., last night said the editors there were too busy to comment. Binder happened to come across the feed, and he thought it would be on for about 15 minutes. When he later returned to view the channel, it was still being shown. "Me and my friend just started watching it together," Binder said. He said he called the local NBC affiliate in Washington, D.C., to let them know what he was observing, but he was put on hold and eventually hung up. "(Miklaszewski) didn't even realize he was on the air." Binder said. "It was stupid." At one point, Miklaszewski gave out his cell phone number, which prompted some of those watching to call him. "Hey guys, you should have dates. What are you doing sitting around watching satellites?" he said after one call. "What are you, a bunch of losers?" Piccione saw an added element to the phone calls the students made to the reporter. "That was a bonus — interactive TV," he said. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
