A couple of nights ago, President Obama told the nation on live television his strategy for winning the war in Afghanistan. When the president speaks, the media will always scurry for reaction, so it's no wonder after his address that we got a call from CNN wanting to do a live interview from ISAF HQ.
Before the new studio, it would take us a minimum of an hour just to set up for a live interview. We have to hook up the satellite, run cables, move furniture. But not anymore.
CNN's call came in at 8PM. I had the guys in the studio at 8:15PM. We were tuned into their satellite by 8:19PM General Blanchette was talking to their producer at 8:25PM and we were on the air worldwide at 8:30PM.
If I've left any mark on Afghanistan, it's the studio. I'm very proud of this.
