About Paul Armstrong
- 28 Apr 06, 11:58 AM
I've worked for 成人快手 Sport since 1989 and this will be my 5th World Cup.
I was an Assistant Producer for the first three: in Television Centre,
London for 1990 and 1994 and then Paris in 1998. In 2002, I was one of
our Programme Editors, as I will be again in Germany.
In essence, this means I'm responsible for the content of individual
programmes, liaising with the presenters and pundits, drawing up a
running order and then adapting it during the live transmission. On the
air, the director is the rally driver and the editor navigates, trying
his best to make sensible contributions while holding the map the right
way up.
For 2006, we're occasionally broadcasting from the stadiums (for England
v Paraguay from Frankfurt, for example) but most of our output will be
coming from our purpose- built studio by the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin,
where I'll be based throughout.
