Behind the Scenes of Daily Blast Live & VCC Caller Cloud™

Lisa Fine Interview 

In the wake of the Las Vegas concert shooting, the VCC team had the privilege of connecting with survivor, Lisa Fine, shortly after she returned to the safety of her California home.  She was identified as a "newsmaker" by the Daily Blast Live production team, and contacted by a Call Producer at VCC - we quickly set her up to do a remote from her own cell phone.  Her first-hand testimony was focused and heart-wrenching.

The backstory: While connected into the VCC system and awaiting her opportunity to go on-air, Lisa heard a knock at the door. The news crews had just shown up to interview her.   Lisa asked them to wait until she was done with her Daily Blast Live interview via FaceTime.  The VCC got there first, at a fraction of the cost!  VCC does this sort of interview for DBL everyday; this particular interview and being able to connect with Lisa in a way that was comfortable and did not add stress to Lisa, is one that the VCC team will never forget.

"I think it is very telling that VCC has become such an integrated part of the [Daily Blast Live] workflow that the talent are calling out the technology is a key component of their content strategy. They also attested to the fact that VCC was far better than any of the competitors." - Ed Busby, SVP Strategy TEGNA
