A Tribute To Instant Reply Inventor…Director Tony Verna

This video from WCAU in Philadelphia has some very interesting footage at the start from the 1985 Live Aid Concert with Tony Verna directing the US portion of the world wide broadcast.

WCAU is where he started and as you’ll see, he blazed quite a trial. Anyone work with him? Got stories to share? Enjoy and share. -Bobby Ellerbee

    Given that was Sport Aid and was done at 30 Rock it’s very possible

    Can anyone confirm the A.D. in the footage is Bob Levy?
