The WPLG/WSVN tag

0

Some might have wondered why on the fly-over video of damage in the area you’ve seen on 7 and 10 there’s a tag in the corner saying WPLG/WSVN. The two stations have made a pool arrangement to give the choppers and the crews some break while covering storm related damage. One station’s chopper crew would fly a few hours, go down to refuel and take a break while the other station would be up getting video footage for a few hours and so on. This isn’t permanent, probably for just a couple of days.

For those who watched the FTAA riots stations pooled their choppers then as well and sometimes you saw the same live video on a couple stations

Update: I’m watching WPLG’s coverage of the huge warehouse fire from earlier today, around 5pm, and it looks like they tapped both 7Skyforce and Sky10’s video. They had shots from WSVN’s chopper upclose from the scene, and then they’d switch to what I think it was Sky10 from the distance showing the fire. Then when both choppers were near each other 10 kept switching back and forth showing different angles
