10Viewer 334 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Do the other Cincinnati stations have helicopters? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13300-wcpo-bringing-back-chopper-9/#findComment-97842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRob 937 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I think WLWT has one. WKRC-TV did for a while. I don't know if they still do. WKRC, the radio station, lost a reporter and pilot in a helicopter crash back in the mid-1980s.

Hickman360 21 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Do the other Cincinnati stations have helicopters? Growing up in Cincy in the 90s I remember WLWT, WXIX, and WCPO had helicopters at one point. I wonder if this will lead to wlwt bringing back their helicopter not sure if Raycom will invest in one with FOX 19 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13300-wcpo-bringing-back-chopper-9/#findComment-97847 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaking News 829 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 WOW! Didn't know 19 had a chopper....I remember when they would called themselves 19XIX, and Chopper 9 is butt ugly btw. It not a flashy chopper with nice pretty colors just looks too bland.
