By the way, the change to a single wide-range zoom on every camera (instead of a turret of fixed lenses) eliminated most of the dolly moves, which were the only way to get variable shots on air with a fixed lens. Not only were the dolly moves a nightmare for lighting (danger of throwing shadows), but I remember seeing programs where the pedestal had an obvious flat spot on a wheel that made the camera "nod" or tilt to one side periodically as it rolled.
