For those who have always wanted to stand in the background of a national news broadcast and wave "hello" to mom, the chance has come. Fox News is filming a number of shows and segments on the Campus of Texas A&M Sunday through Tuesday.
News anchor Shepard Smith will be running the show with live election coverage Tuesday between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., with periodic updates as the night goes on. Smith will also air his usual programs, "Studio B" and "The Fox Report," from the MSC flagroom Sunday and Monday between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., and 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. respectively.
"Whenever we have a chance to showcase students, faculty, and our campus to the entire country it's a great opportunity we can't pass up," said Sherylon Carroll, A&M's associate vice president of communications. "A&M is one of the most awesome universities in the world, and I'm sure that's why Fox picked us as a location [and we are glad to have them.]"
"Students, faculty, and staff will be able to come to the flag room and actually watch the news as its happening," Carroll said. "And that's pretty cool and exciting."
Organizers said they are hoping that students and others who are passing through the MSC will take the time to visit the flagroom to let the country see the student body of Texas A&M.
