It seems to be 2 choppers now so they may or may not be sharing in the future or end up using 1 each for the morning and evening flights. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17564-news-helicopters-list-and-discussion/page/4/#findComment-272435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKATL 2 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 It seems 2/9 and 11 will have their own choppers. 3 choppers, 2 branded, 1 backup. N39CL is dual branded as of now, FOX11 on one side, Sky 2 on the other side. I wonder, how they will brand the 2nd chopper. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17564-news-helicopters-list-and-discussion/page/4/#findComment-272436 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABC 7 Denver 1723 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 One of the last few markets where stations have their own choppers. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17564-news-helicopters-list-and-discussion/page/4/#findComment-272440 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at out-of-country news clips, and I noticed something from Australian TV stations. TEN Eyewitness News had State Bank on their chopper, while Seven National News had National Australia Bank on their chopper. I wonder if those two banks were sponsoring each network's aerial news coverage. Flying billboard if you will. If that's the case, that idea could work in America local stations. A bank funding the chopper for a local station, and in exchange, having the bank's logo somewhere on the chopper with the station logo on it. Plus, announcing that the aerial coverage sponsored by X Bank, so that the station can provide their bank more business. Either a bank, a real estate chain, or even a grocery store sponsoring a station's helicopter coverage. Example, KCAL 9's helicopter with the Albertson's grocery stores logo on it Edited December 5, 2022 by newsteam13 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17564-news-helicopters-list-and-discussion/page/4/#findComment-280454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTVNews 194 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Not sure if the list on the first post is being maintained but there is no longer a news helicopter in Portland. I think it went away around the start of 2022. Before the final chopper went away, all stations had been sharing sharing the video the past few years, but KOIN left the sharing agreement several years earlier and went without one. Before that there were 2 choppers (KGW/KPTV) and KOIN/KATU. And then of course go back far enough into the 2000s when they all had their own. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17564-news-helicopters-list-and-discussion/page/4/#findComment-280507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKATL 2 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 It looks like WJZ has dumped their R66 and WBAL is the only eye in the sky in Baltimore now. I know that WBFF shares chopper with channel 7 (5 &9) in DC for breaking news. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17564-news-helicopters-list-and-discussion/page/4/#findComment-290863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleachian 134 Posted May 17, 2024 Share Posted May 17, 2024 WRAL is currently flying N6TY, which was formerly assigned to KMOV. WRAL's own N553HD which has always been registered to Capitol Broadcasting is now registered to Helicopters, Inc. and hasn't flown since February. Word is that it is undergoing rehabbing. But either way, it does look like WRAL has sold their chopper and outsourced the service. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17564-news-helicopters-list-and-discussion/page/4/#findComment-297370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosiahCubed 281 Posted May 17, 2024 Share Posted May 17, 2024 And within the last year and a half or so, KDKA and WPXI stopped using Chopper 2/Chopper 11, which has left Sky 4 from WTAE as Pittsburgh’s only news helicopter. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17564-news-helicopters-list-and-discussion/page/4/#findComment-297372 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTAE is pretty much the only station putting in any effort. KDKA or “CBS NEWS PITTSBURGH” is coasting on its heritage and the effects of Apollo are evident in the product WPXI is putting out.

PhotogNews 2 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Probably getting active this topic again...... Looks like WTTG/WUSA/WJLA possibly stopped using their chopper (N611TV/N991TV) and start using N98CL with WRC, at least that what I saw the chopper footage they used in CIA HQ barricade. Anyone can confirm that? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17564-news-helicopters-list-and-discussion/page/4/#findComment-304648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotogNews 2 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 N63L (possibly DC POOL) in Fairfax Co, VA this afternoon (for OIS shooting in Fairfax 4/23), wonder if it's replacement for N98CL 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17564-news-helicopters-list-and-discussion/page/4/#findComment-305177 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photos of the helicopter before and after the crash. The new SkyNews 9 didn’t even last seven months. The timing of the crash couldn’t have been worse, given it happened during the middle of Oklahoma’s peak severe weather season. If KWTV needs aerial footage to supplement their ground crews, for the time being, KOTV’s chopper will have to serve as an occasional fallback. Edited Thursday at 06:25 PM by T.L.
