Part of my early career was built on producing live television for CNN and NBC News, back in the days when you needed to work with a microwave or satellite transmission truck and engineers to make it happen. These days, you can go live from your smartphone. Still, producing a reliable signal for the entirety of a live event has its challenges. After some hiccups, we learned that relying on WireCast was the best way to live stream events from games, to concerts, to commencement.
