Franklin TV: Sports, Take 2

Giving voice to the action.

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 04/12/2026

We’re watching football. Yes, we’re ‘Professional Football Watchers’

Now there’s a cool job title. Here you see Pete Royce and Jay Horrigan watching a game and calling the play action. They’re broadcast sports announcers. That’s the fancier way of saying, ‘Professional Football Watchers’. All they need here? Buffalo wings and beer.

This was one of the rare instances where they called the game from our studio rather than at the field. I might be disassembling a bit of ‘The Magic of Television’, but yes, this actually happens with some national and international sports.

Consider that almost all soccer games are called by announcers in a Miami studio.

“ Goalll ! ! ! ! ! !”

As the World Cup plays out across the U.S. this year there will be announcers hither and yon – in studios around the world. They’ll be calling the games in languages common to their respective national TV networks.

The “Tower of Babel” problem – solved. Not a towering task.

And – as always –

Thank you for watching.

Franklin TV: Freedom of Assembly

“Some Assembly Required’ –  Indeed.

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 04/05/2026

Getting All the Pieces to Fit. It’s a 3-hour tour in patience while divining assembly pictogram instructions that have no words. I was tasked with assembling a toddler-sized kitchen set.

‘Some assembly is required’ – is invariably a necessary, difficult challenge.

I don’t think this is the type of ‘freedom of assembly’ that the Founding Fathers intended to enshrine as the first of all human rights as amendments in Our Bill of Rights.

Freedom of Assembly –

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,”

It recognizes that a person’s faith – whether it commands them to kneel toward Mecca, light candles for the Sabbath, or pray in a language older than the ruins of Rome – deserves neither derision nor suspicion – whether it be Easter, Passover, Eid or – nothing at all. And it is this simple undeniable fact that the right to exist in peace doesn’t hinge on anyone else’s comprehension – or opinion. We don’t need to understand someone to offer respect. We need only be decent – as compassionate human beings. Respect is the simple daily act of tendering the same dignity to others that we expect for ourselves. As we all assemble in worship this weekend – or anytime common faith and ideals bring folks of like mind together – let’s also respect the first ‘instruction’ in the Bill of Rights.

In these notably authoritarian times ‘Some assembly is required’ – and is invariably our necessary, difficult challenge. And – through respectful abiding assembly, perhaps we can get all the pieces to fit. (We just need the right tools.)

And – as always –

Thank you for watching.
