n925tv 143 Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Hi. Recently, KFMB in San Diego, bought a couple of Toyota Sequoia SUV's, to use for their news truck fleet. Why did they buy these cars, instead of buying some News ENG Trucks from Frontline? I don't get why they got these cars, and now they are doing most of their live shots with some "portable" Antenna. Thanks!
