IceManNYR 222 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I noticed during a report on WABC the video came from WPIX. Free Image Hosting by ImageBam.com Do WPIX and WABC have any type of regular agreement to share video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Image Hosting by ImageBam.com Do WPIX and WABC have any type of regular agreement to share video? Funny I how I just saw the same I was wondering why they did that, lol. I guess they can pool their resources together. This isn't the first time we've seen that though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickMa 0 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I believe they are both CNN affiliates which would probably give them access to the video if they needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qunewsguy 376 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I believe they are both CNN affiliates which would probably give them access to the video if they needed. Nope, they'd be automatically embargoed in-market. They must be doing a joint gathering agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioTech 13 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I do recall WPIX using chopper footage from WABC (through CNN) in the past so maybe this is payback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightofni 2 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Most or all of the NYC stations have an agreement to share news services. Or something like that. This was announced maybe about a year ago. Around the same time is when 11 dumped their chopper and a few months later starting using 2's. Then 4 and 5 did the same. Trying to find the press release or even a thread here about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewsJunkie247 1 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Ch. 7 isn't part of any of those agreement. You are correct. WABC is the only New York station that is not part of that agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightofni 2 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Wow. Then let the quasi-mystery continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey 779 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I guess this is kind of different but I know that News 12 Long Island often uses video from the NYC stations and credits them with a graphic. It's not an organized sharing service kind of thing, just a phone call to a station asking, "Hey, can we borrow that video tonight?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WABC also sometimes uses News12 footage and, yes, often times it is just a simple call asking to trade footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNews 54 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I think WPIX has been very generous. I remember an instance where WNBC had used WPIX's video in the past and this was before the 4 stations signed the deal to share resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
