I remember in Boston, reporter Shelbey Scott was always the designated “Storm Stand Up” reporter.

Shelby Scott, she was the one that pioneered this whole storm coverage "live shot" thing. She's was doing that routine back in the 1970s, before there was portable gear capable of doing a "liveshot". (In those days, you had to shoot film and rush it back to the studio.)

They use to put a hat and coat on her and push her out into Soldier's Field Road, just outside the Channel 4 offices. Then they'd run out a 1,000 foot extension cord and film her live, just like they were in the studio. They employed some other tricks as well.

At the time, this was whiz-bang technology and the other Boston stations were scrambling to figure out how they were able to put Shelby out in the street - live on camera.
