Donovan Long is reporting outside the Summerfest grounds when a fan tosses him a can of beer. He catches it live on air. The Brewers' championship parade has not even started.
That early-morning scene sets the tone for FOX6 News Milwaukee's "LIVE: Milwaukee Brewers Championship Celebration," a broadcast following the city as it welcomes home its first World Series-winning Brewers team. The stream reached about 192,000 views, an extraordinary turnout for the station's long-form coverage, which usually draws fewer than a thousand views on its first day.
Before the parade, there is a whole morning of preparation to watch. Fans have put chairs along the route overnight. Reporters meet people waiting outside Henry Maier Festival Park, while the studio explains road closures and school closures allowing families to attend. Weather and traffic reports share the broadcast with rally towels and cheering crowds.
The homecoming footage supplies the image behind all this activity: Christian Yelich carrying the trophy after the team's flight lands at Mitchell International Airport. At the airport press conference, manager Pat Murphy puts the emphasis on the collective: "They see that it's a team."
Along the parade route, the camera pauses on a Bob Uecker mural. Elsewhere, the celebration reaches somewhere less expected than the sidewalks: Waukesha County Judge Michael Maxwell has permitted Brewers attire in his courtroom.
Milwaukee’s professional baseball team, competing in Major League Baseball’s National League Central Division. Their name reflects the city’s brewing history.
