It's "official"- WDAF Channel 4- Kansas City's FIRST on-air station- news department and station that got a helicopter back in 1994 has grounded SkyFox.
That station is already last in weekend overnight news coverage- they don't have a staff photographer on duty at those times nor will they call one out to a news event unless it's "The Second Coming" as one Channel 4 staffer told me awhile back.
There will be major news events where Channel 4 WILL take a back seat to the superior aerial pictures that a news department helicopter can provide.
Flooding and tornadoes are just two events best covered from the sky.
Shaky internet-connection video just won't hack it on those.
Guess I can leave WDAF Channel 4 out of my channel rotation when it floods or there are twisters around....
