KTTV and KNBC are already sharing aerial newsgathering, at least unofficially. There's a lot of coordination over who will fly what and when, especially on the weekends. Putting an agreement on paper will will just formalize and expand what happens now. As for the "local news service:" As a professional news photographer in Los Angeles, this is pretty much the the first sounding of the death knell for my career, and the careers of my colleagues. The process may take a decade or more, as we're slowly squeezed from the market, but this will be the last generation of well-trained, career-professional, union-member photographers, photog/editors, and field engineers. Too bad, it's been a great gig and I've loved (almost) every minute of it. I'll likely be in my mid-to-late fifties when it finally goes away, hopefully my side business is moderately successful by then. If not, I'll be the guy with the sign at Nordhoff and the 405 (close to CSUN... better scenery :lol:) Congratulations Harvey Levin, you and your TMZ stalkerazzi are now officially the future of TV.

noozeyeguy 0 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Oh, I should point out that at least one union (IBEW in Boston) is trying to do something about this: Clicky.... NABET? IATSE? You guys listening? Or are your heads too deep in the sand (or somewhere more scatalogically appropriate) to hear anything?

LosAngeles7 0 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Why don't they just share writers and reporters, too? Heck, show the same newscast on all three channels.
