Lack of Drone coverage

Post by sinklair » Mon Dec 14, 2020 10:05 pm

Having worked in other markets, I am constantly surprised by the acceptance of low standards by managers at all three local stations.

Over the last five years or so, stations across the country have adopted the use of new technology like drones to present local stories.

5 and 12 rarely use theirs. And don’t get me started about 25-66, whose parent company is quoted in the article saying how drones have become “essential”. Someone forgot to tell this to the In Over Her Head News Director, the Shipped In from Out of Town new Sinclair GM and the entire 25-66 engineering department.

I thought almost every local TV station had drones I know WWMT, WoodTV, WXMI use their drones a lot I don't know about WZZM as I don't watch that station much. The TV stations need to use the drones if they have them don't let them be on the ground Collecting dust where ever they store the drones at.
