Blackhawk Okie in Muskogee

June 8, Monday

Oklahoma Army Air National Guard is training on air traffic control of Blackhawk helicopters.         Reporter Tony Russell and photographer Brian Anderson capture the story. Brian is the overnight guy, but managers called him in early because they are short photographers.  Erick Pays (right) is an intern from OU.

Brian Anderson worked for free capturing his own overnight videos before KOTV hired him.
Tony(sunglasses) started his love of news as a ham radio operator in his early teens.  Tony says
many students don't realize how hard you have to work to make it.

Brian Anderson attracted thousand of followers to social media first, then asked for a job at The News On 6.  Brian didn't listen to people who said he'd never become a photographer for a local news station.  He created his own future. Brian has more than 5,000 followers on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook and hundreds of thousands of video views.
