11:40 a.m. Discovery Channel crew fiilming in Webb City at Cardinal Scales



A Discovery Channel film crew is in Webb City today filming segments for the popular show “How It’s Made” at one of Southwest Missouri’s best known manufacturers.

Jonathan Sabo, Cardinal Scales advertising manager, said the four-man crew drove in from Quebec, Montreal in Canada Wednesday, to reveal to the rest of the world how the longtime manufacturer makes three different types of scales.

During its three-day stay, the crew is spending 10 to 11 hours a day filming, and will edit it down to four or five minutes per segment. Three separate show segments will show how Cardinal Scales makes a physicians scale, a semi-truck scale and a food scale.

Sabo said the first segment will air at the beginning of the show’s next season in September. The other two will show in the middle and toward the end of the season.

“How It’s Made” started as a Discovery Channel-Canada production in 2000, and now has more than 1 million viewers a week, all over the world, translated into multiple languages.

Francois Senecal, director of the show’s film crew, said he has filmed more than 550 subjects all over the world in the last eight years.
