RSN Season 1 Episode 10: The Camera Crew

STATION MARKET HH RATINGS (+/- LAST WEEK)

RSN Los Angeles: 7.4 (+0.4)

RSN Indianapolis: 6.3 (+0.4)

RSN Santa Fe: 0.7 (=)

RSN Bridgeport: 0.5 (-0.1)

RSN Anchorage: 0.2 (=)


SETTING: RSN’s corporate office. The mood is downbeat as KYLIE and NICOLE just had a major argument.


NICOLE INTERVIEW

So Kylie just lost it on me. I don’t even know why, I was minding my own business when she kinda just flipped. 


KYLIE INTERVIEW

Nicole decided it’d be a good idea to turn Benny against RSN Los Angeles. She got her payback when she least expected it.


BENNY INTERVIEW

Nicole did nothing to turn me against LA. I was already against them from the start. Ask Devin, he knows all about it. 


DEVIN INTERVIEW

Yeah I don’t really know what exactly Benny has against his highest-rated station. It’s pretty dumb if you ask me or Nicole.


NICOLE INTERVIEW

*NICOLE sighs* I said all I have to say. 


CUT to AUSTIN, TREVOR, BLAKE, and SASHA meeting among themselves at TREVOR’s cubicle.


TREVOR

Do you guys ever get the sense the camera crew is hurting our productivity?


AUSTIN

How do?


TREVOR

Well for one, Benny, his assistant, and the station liaisons for the only two stations with half-decent ratings have been pulled aside to talk to them about something that has nothing to do with saving RSN. 


BLAKE

Yeah, and Kylie and Nicole have been meaner to each other since the camera crew got here. 


SASHA

And let’s not forget the Santa Fe Primitives season starts soon and RSN Santa Fe looks as pathetic as always. 


Everyone stares blankly at SASHA.


SASHA

I can say it, I’m their liaison.


BLAKE

No about…the baseball thing.


SASHA

You didn’t forget, did you?


Everyone is silent.


SASHA

Two weeks until Opening Day.


AUSTIN

That’s impossible.


TREVOR

Sasha I am so sorry. 


SASHA

It’s okay, I’ll just have to find a new job I guess.


AUSTIN

No. We need to do something about this?


BLAKE

What can we even do though? The camera crew is staying so long as the board stays.


AUSTIN groans.


AUSTIN

Maybe while everyone else is distracted, we can start doing things our own way?


BLAKE

We’ve spoken to the camera crew too though before. Not gonna lie, I kinda like it.


TREVOR

Austin has a point. Let Kylie and Nicole go after each other. Let Benny keep shooting himself in the foot. Then maybe you guys can catch up in the ratings!


SASHA

Well what we’re doing now isn’t working for Santa Fe, that’s for sure. 


Suddenly, BENNY storms over to TREVOR’s cubicle.


BENNY

I got news.


AUSTIN

Uh oh.


BENNY

I fired the camera crew. 


SASHA

Benny! You’re not allowed to do that!


BENNY

Why not, I’m the CEO! They were clearly causing division around here. 


TREVOR

Maybe but…they’re not yours to fire. They’re the board’s.


BENNY looks horrified. 


BENNY

And that would explain why they’re still filming?


AUSTIN

Yup.


BENNY

Oh I am in so much trouble.


SASHA

Not if you help me save Santa Fe! It’s the ratings, stupid.


BENNY gives SASHA a stern look.


BENNY

Don’t ever call me stupid again.


SASHA

I thought—never mind. What I mean is the board will forgive you if a third RSN station starts doing well. You know, preferably Santa Fe. 


BENNY

You know what? You’re right. I did do the right thing. 


SASHA

I didn’t say that at all.


BENNY

Good talk. 


BENNY retreats to his office.


AUSTIN

You think he’ll be a help?


SASHA

I hope so.


AUSTIN

Well if you want…I can maybe put Anchorage on the back burner for a couple weeks, help you out a bit.


SASHA

I’ll take all the help I can get. 


KYLIE and NICOLE approach SASHA.


KYLIE

Help with what?


NICOLE

I’ll help! Indy’s ratings speak for themselves and I have experience with the Primitives.


KYLIE

No I’ll do it! You want the best to help you out, don’t you?


SASHA

Actually I think this is covered.
