Dallas-area TV stations cutting back on their chopper budgets
Content partner Uncle Barky has an interesting story about how Fox 4, NBC 5, and CBS 11 are all getting rid of their helicopters due to budget cuts. Instead of owning and maintaining Bell Helicopters (not to mention paying pilots, mechanics, etc.), the three stations will be renting Robinson R44 choppers from Sky Helicopters.
Guess reporters are gonna have to tough it out on the highways like the rest of us schmoes most of the time now.

Russ Vandeveerdonk, says:
I was ALWAYS wondering when this would stop. Costs too much, for now anyway. The best was NBC 5's Ken Arnold. He told it like it was. Maybe by this summer, the economy and the budgets will allow choppers to fly again.
