Actually, the networks literally built the infrastructure to transmit from the White House. They’re the ones with the resources to do it daily. That includes a considerable amount for staff, equipment, & travel costs. We then pool footage to other outlets. It is a public service.

Heartbroken for NBC's Los Angeles station as the journalists cover the deadly crash of NewsChopper 4. The city's TV news community is tight-knit. The news chopper pilots "look out for one another," as one reporter said on air. "Tremendous camaraderie." Tonight, a terrible loss.

Two police cars collide while responding to the same call in Providence just now. One officer was traveling down Prairie Ave as another was turning from Public St onto Prairie when they crashed. Both officers taken to the hospital with minor injuries. @wpri12

Unfortunately, these calls often end badly despite rapid Marine Task Force activation. Sounds like this person will survive and will be transported to a hospital shortly.

Jamestown FD making a save right now after someone reportedly jumped off the Jamestown bridge a little while ago. Multiple communities launched boats as soon as the call came in. One person located alive and conscious in the water - now being taken back to shore on a fire boat.
