Last Tuesday morning, three bloggers and one grizzled print editor met at the BCAT studios for what moderator Gersh Kuntzman is calling a smackdown and OTBKB would call a taping of BCAT’s “Reporter Roundtable.”

Probably the most surprising news was the show’s new set. Four leather chairs. Luckily, I wore nice shoes. Truth is, I was expecting to sit behind a desk like the last time I was on a BCAT show.

Pre-show, the three bloggers compared notes about working methods and daily schedules.

The show itself was a mixed bag of conversation about newsapers vs. blogging, development in Williamsburg, and the fate of the NYC real estate bubble. Gersh is a lively and fun moderator and Brownstoner and Gowanus Lounge are both very articulate and comfortable in front of the camera.

I revealed on the show that I lived on North 6th Street in 1984.

“Whoa. You were quite a pioneer,” Gersh said. “Why’d you leave?”

I broke up with the boyfriend I was living with.

The show first airs on Friday, Oct. 19 at 9 pm and is repeated on Monday, Oct. 22 at 1 pm; Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 1:30 and 9:30 pm; and Thursday, Oct. 25 at 2 and 10 pm.

BCAT appears on channel 56 for Time-Warner customers and channel 69 for Cablevision subscribers.
