hhpatriot04 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 So have all the TV stations sold their helicopters or ??? Memories of crash landings in corn, baseball, and/or practice football fields are welcome. No politics. #petrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWFan Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I remember in jr high chasing down the Friday night lights crew at a West Washington game and being in back ground of every shot acting like a total idiot. Was a great time. Can't remember for life of me who we were playing. Fred Cowgil at CBS has been to WW a few times of last couple seasons for team profiles/team of the week stuff but have seen the old midgame chopper landing in the field in a long time.

Ballhawk Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Most of the Indianapolis TV stations don't even have sports segments any more. You don't see the Indians, Fuel or Fever reported about on TV. It's sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHJIrish Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 If it ain't Pacers or Colts, it ain't covered on the local sports segments. I guess that's all that counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHJIrish Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Taylor is a very nice young lady. I speak with her quite often at the Speedway in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bcaster Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 In the age of Wi-Fi, those TV stations still airing highlights of local HS football have a much more cost-effective way of getting football back to the station. Sending out a helicopter for footage was flashy and generated good buzz for the station, but it's primary reason for existence was to get highlights from far out in the hinterland back to the studio in a timely fashion. These days, with Wi-Fi and even cell phone video technology, highlights of usually at least decent quality can be sent back to the station in the blink of an eye. making an expensive (although admittedly cool) helicopter landing obsolete.
