How far WFTV has fallen. I know choppers are expensive, but still. I thought WOFL (FOX 35) shared a chopper with Spectrum News 13.

I love Leslie’s work and I’m glad we can still see her on channel 7. She knows her stuff and she’s a great person. Kudos to her.
-
Regardless of how long they’ll stick around, they’re still great hires for channel 5. Even though they may never be able to surpass channel 7 in the ratings.

I agree. Those two, along with Disney, are good. I already watch them and applied to a bunch of their stations. But, are there any Nexstar/Tegna stations worth watching/applying to?
-
I’m getting dangerously close to removing Nexstar and Tegna from my list of stations to work at. Are there any stations that are worth watching/applying to?
-
I don’t live in the Seattle area, but I was curious as to how the stations handled news chopper usage for coverage of the Seahawks Super Bowl parade last week. Do any of the stations share chopper footage?
-
I believe it was WFTV’s chopper at one point. I saw video of it at the Orlando airport. Side note: does KSTP still have their own chopper?
-
Action News recently debuted updated openings for the winter season. I noticed something missing, though: shots of Chopper 6 flying around. I wonder why it wasn’t included in the openings.

I remember when he started. Consummate professional. At least he wasn’t pushed out.

TEGNA Broadcasting and Digital General Discussion
rtmclaug replied to ABC 7 Denver's topic in Corporate Chat
I bet these stations are breathing a sigh of relief. Their chances of being divested/sold may have gone down, but who knows? I’m shocked that KUSA isn’t on the list, since they’re one of TEGNA’s crown jewels.- 3735 replies

I used to think that WPTV was one of the few bright spots in the Scripps group, if not the ONLY bright spot. However I have serious doubts about them now, with so many people retiring and them getting rid of Chopper 5 (the only news chopper in West Palm Beach). Any Scripps stations worth watching?
-
I did some digging and apparently N29S has found new life in Miami. It’s the new Chopper 6 for WTVJ. Same red paint scheme. The video I saw for it (I follow their photojournalist on Instagram) only showed the chopper with the NBC 6 logo. It probably is a shared chopper with WSCV.

If I was working for a Tegna station (or even a Nexstar station, especially if they’re in the same market), I’d update the resume tape ASAP. Plan for the worst, pray for the best.

Sinclair Broadcast Group - General Discussion
rtmclaug replied to Smitha A's topic in Corporate Chat
Are there any Sinclair stations actually worth watching/working at? I deleted the weather apps from several stations months ago, but I’m willing to give them another chance. -
I’m pleasantly surprised. Action News is known for not hiring from other stations in the market. But I love Jessica’s work. They made a great choice.
