I remember years ago working at a station in Portland. You had to have verified experience before they would even talk to you about potentially working in this town in this business.

Then it eventually came down to answering the question "Have you ever watched TV?" before they would talk to you.

Now, if you walk off the street and you can spell the word "TV" (not television... that is too hard), and have no experience, you are hired and they will train you over a long time.

Of course, with today's technology, you really don't have to know anything to make television.
