The smartest game on television is back for season 27! Yes, Brain Game is back with a new season and new location!
The Brain Game set pieces you know and love, have relocated from WRAL-TV Studio C to our band new location in the lecture hall on the Wake Tech Northern Campus. The new space provides a comfortable home away from home plus plenty of space for a live audience.
With the help of WRAL engineers Allen Palmer, Fred Kelly, and Pete Sockett, we've built out a full on-site remote production studio that includes 5 cameras, 8 microphones, and a small but mighty portable aa-in-one production switcher. All this prep work has allowed the Local Production team(Randy Mews, Bill DiNicola, Don Ursich, & Scott Reid) to execute each game as if we didn't miss a beat!
Here are a few pics from behind the scenes.
