Discovery Puts On a Show, Literally
By Silver Springer • Sep 18th, 2006 • Category: Uncategorized
How the hell did I miss this one? Discovery Communications Inc. turned the lobby of their headquarters into a televised discussion hosted by Ted Koppel (I didn’t know Ted Koppel lived in Potomac) on the previous Sunday. The Televised event was visible from the streets of Silver Spring for the documentary ‘‘The Price of Security,â€.
David McKillop, Discovery’s vice president of production and “a fourth-generation native of the area†said. “Normally, any programming that Discovery produces in Maryland is done at its Kenyan Street studio in Silver Spring and not at its corporate headquartersâ€. Did he mean the Creative Technology Center on Kennett Street or is there some other facility I don’t know about?
Discovery coming to Silver Spring is paying off in immeasurable ways. I hope they do this again soon, they definitely know how to put on a show!

I walked past Cakelove onto Georgia Ave. and I noticed a bunch of people in the Discovery Channel HQ lobby. There was a panel of people in chairs and an audience. Of course, large TV cameras were spread around the room.
I saw Ted Koppel himself sitting on a high-chair firing away questions.
What a neat experience to watch from the outside looking in.
Very cool indeed.
It was on the radio! I listened to it when it was on a couple of weeks ago.
The panel discussion wasn’t too good, same old one dimensional international political views.
What got me is how the entire ‘panel’ seemed to be made up of current and former Bush administration officials. Any people with opposing opinions (such as George Soros) were seated in the audience.
