²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Anchor Kyle Cooper runs the on-air studio board, playing all of the elements that one of the midday anchors who is working from home cannot, such as sounders, live interviews and commercials. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

Depending on the shift, a skeleton crew remains at ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½’s studios. Seen in these photos are Assistant Editor Andrea Cambron, Afternoon Drive Editor Mike Jakaitis, Midday Editor Joslyn Chesson and Midday Anchor Mark Lewis. Since this photo of Lewis was taken, he now works from home. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Morning Drive Anchor Bruce Alan, seen here updating listeners with the latest news and information on the coronavirus pandemic, continues to come into the studios. He uses his face mask when he isn’t broadcasting. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Morning Drive Anchor Joan Jones is one of ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½’s familiar voices who is working remotely. She has retrofitted a closet. She communicates with her editor back at the studio by cellphone and an intercom system. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Joan Jones)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Anchor Debra Feinstein works out of her closet using a remote access unit, her computer and cellphone. Back at the studio, another staffer pushes buttons that ensure traffic, weather, sports, business and a host of other things get on the air. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Debra Feinstein)

One of the new things inside the ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ newsroom is the hand sanitizer dispenser. In addition to people sitting farther apart, those in the newsroom are constantly sanitizing. ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Afternoon Anchor Shawn Anderson is seen here. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Afternoon Anchor Hillary Howard prepares to broadcast live from her home. She said she is grateful to colleague ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Reporter/Anchor Mike Murillo for his help in setting up her work-from-home studio. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Hillary Howard)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ continues to provide the news, traffic and weather information you depend on, but we’ve had to make some adjustments to how we operate due to the coronavirus pandemic. The majority of our staffers currently work from home — including much of the web team, whose section of the office stands empty. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

Before the coronavirus, many of these ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ newsroom workstations would be shared by people working different shifts. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

Many ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ staffers, such as Business Reporter Jeff Clabaugh, Storm Team4 Meteorologist Matt Ritter, Reporter/Anchor Mike Murillo and Digital Editor Will Vitka, have slight variations of their work-from-home setups. Murillo was the first anchor to broadcast from home. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½’s Megan Cloherty works with her nephew on her lap. She finds working from home challenging. “Before the pandemic, I was accustomed to filing from the field. But working from home is a totally different animal. In our house, we are balancing childcare and trying to work around each other’s work demands. I’ve had to get used to watching press conferences on a live stream and calling in to ask my questions on a delay. We are getting a lot of great stories from community members who are sharing their new normal – what’s working and what’s not. It has been fun to break out of crime and courts reporting for a bit and tell different stories,” she writes in an email. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Megan Cloherty)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ reporters, including Kristi King, work from home. The cushions and other items facing Kristi are used when she goes live on the air and when she records. If not for these creative sound barriers, King would sound hollow or like she was speaking from inside a “tin can.” (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Kristi King)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ General Manager and Senior Vice President Joel Oxley speaks during a March 27 staff meeting, held over a conference call. Not seen in the photo is an intercom where staff members call in so they can talk with their co-workers and hear what’s going on in the newsroom. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Colleen Kelleher)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Director of ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ and Programming Julia Ziegler, seen here in her office participating in a conference call, comes into the office most days. Managers — Darci Marchese, Jared Ruderman and Pat Brogan — sometimes work at home and sometimes work in the office. Craig Schwalb, ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½’s new Director of Content Integration and Operations, has yet to meet the staff in person. He just moved here from the New York City area. For the first couple of weeks of his new job, Schwalb worked remotely, answering listener emails from what was jokingly known among the managers as the “Princeton Junction bureau.” (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Senior Digital Editor Colleen Kelleher typically does not work in an actual office, but she filled in for her recently promoted boss, Digital ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Director Sarah Beth Hensley, who has been on maternity leave since February. Hensley returned to work April 14. Kelleher, who has been at ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ coordinating how to cover the pandemic and other stories online as well as cross-training Matt Small to work on ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½.com, returned to her normal early morning web editing shift when Hensley returned. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Writer Brandon Millman, is part of the skeleton crew still working in the ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ newsroom. In addition to writing for the morning drive anchors, Millman has been doing some in-house reporting and running the on-air studio board for anchors broadcasting from home. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Writer/Digital Editor Jack Pointer divides his time during the week either writing for the afternoon drive anchors from his sofa or writing and editing web articles. His dog Matilda is bored with having him around so much. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Jack Pointer)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Assistant Editor Adisa Hargett-Robinson wears a face mask and gloves as she prepares material for air. Hargett-Robinson started with ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ in March, just as coronavirus really started to become a problem locally. She has not known what it is like to work in the newsroom in precoronavirus conditions. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Assistant Editor Alicia Abelson, seen here wearing a face mask, coordinates with colleagues working in the newsroom and at home. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Traffic Reporter Jack Taylor said he finds it “super cool” to realize all of his old home equipment would allow him to broadcast live remotely, with the addition of new software. What he does not have is screens showing dozens of streaming cameras. Taylor said what he has really missing is “the co-workers, my traffic team, teamwork in one room. I love it from home but interaction! Please personal interactions!” he wrote in an email. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Jack Taylor)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Traffic Reporter Mary DePompa answers a call to the ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Traffic Center from her home studio. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Mary DePompa)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Traffic Reporter Reada Kessler, seen here in the ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Traffic Center, prepares to update listeners on road conditions. She wears her face mask when not broadcasting. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Traffic Reporter Rob Stallworth, seen here wearing a face mask, updates the latest traffic information. Someone is always in the ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Traffic Center. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

Jacob Kerr works on editing audio in operations. He takes in audio from reporters, weather and various networks. Should an Emergency Alert System message need to go out, Kerr is ready to handle it. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

Chris Cichon also works in operations, but is doing it from home. He also does weekend sports from home. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Chris Cichon)

Each studio undergoes a detailed cleaning before another anchor gets behind the microphone. ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Technical Operations/Engineering Assistant Zach Shore, seen here cleaning the main studio, comes into work to help troubleshoot any number of problems that can arise in-house and off-site. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

People still working in the ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ newsroom clean their areas before and after each shift with what’s been dubbed the “corona cleaner.” (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

It takes a large stock of cleaning supplies, some of it seen here, to keep ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½’s “24/7-365” news operation humming. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)

²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ no longer lets employees bring in food to share with their co-workers, something that was very common before the pandemic. For those still coming in, a refrigerator and freezer are stocked with healthy foods. And, then there’s a good bit of junk food to keep everybody happy. (²ÝÝ®´«Ã½/Matt Small)
