Yep, you can hit the big-time right away at your first job in Fargo or Danville or wherever, watching your package air verbatim on News Nation.

Nexstar was supposed to have a big "digital first" push among all its stations until the pandemic hit. You'll see a renewal of it for 2021, and, yes, they'll try to squeeze as much money from it as possible. Look for some of the bigger stations to be doing talk radio for TV online in between newscasts. I think WFLA already does a version of it.

Zac was one of our best reporters. Getting that top-ten job is well-deserved.

The other victim was the boyfriend of a different Ft. Myers reporter. Both victims were wearing helmets per a newspaper article. Unfortunately, the helmet is just a little piece of plastic between you and a sturdy object at high speed.

I wonder how FOX & FOX NEWS EDGE will retaliate against this when contracts come up for Nexstar FOX stations? That will be interesting to see. I'll also be curious to see how much the national news picture will change on Nexstar stations now that they won't have access to FOX NEWS EDGE, NBC NEWS CHANNEL , ABC NEWS 1, CBS NEWS PATH, & CNN NEWS SOURCE--I'm guessing the viewers will eventually notice.
Heh. When the CNN news came down, my boss said "Good. More local. More local."

I knew about the Amazon situation because the copy had been circulating on Twitter last weekend. Funny, though, my station never received the news release or the video. It looks like the stations that ran the story verbatim are mostly in the smallest of markets.
A full VNR package is rare today, especially from the corporate communications world (retailers, banks, tech companies, etc.). When I was a young producer, ABC would send health VNR packages from some company in Florida (Ivanhoe?), from the J.A.M.A., and from the Cleveland Clinic. We still fight those battles with hospitals who want us to use their own video, as opposed to shooting our own video.
