Austin plane crash: Local affiliates feed cable coverage
It’s not often we get to see local reporters on national television but, as reported on the TV Newser Web site, the local network affiliates — running continuous coverage of this morning’s plane crash in north Austin — are feeding video to the national cable networks, which are also running continuous coverage.
MSNBC and Fox News are running video from KXAN and KEYE, their respective local arms. CNN is taking a more aggregate approach, switching between feeds from KXAN, KVUE and News 8.
Even The Weather Channel is breaking into it’s standard meteorological coverage to show footage from KXAN.
KEYE, KTBC, KVUE and KXAN are all running live streaming video of the crash site on their respective Web pages, as is The American-Statesman.
UPDATE: San Antonio News station WOAI has a helicopter in the air over the crash site; the video feed has been braodcast by MSNBC.
