Central Florida News Helicopters / Remotes (?)

[batdude]

I'd like to get an updated list going for central Florida and the various news organizations.

here's the table from RR:

455.31250 KPM205 M CSQ Infinity TR Infinity Broadcasting Traffic Reports
450.75000 KPE882 M CSQ WDBO AM-580 WDBO AM-580 Traffic on the 6's
153.23000 KPK952 BM 156.7 PL WESH- 2 WESH- 2 (Winter Park)
450.08750 KEH224 RM 156.7 PL WESH- 2 WESH- 2 (Winter Park)
450.18750 RM 156.7 PL WESH- 2 WESH- 2 (Winter Park)
450.66250 KC4866 RM 141.3 PL WFTV-9 Sky WFTV-9 Skywitness (Orlando) F
455.48750 KB97151 RM 141.3 PL WFTV-9 Sky WFTV-9 Skywitness (Orlando)
455.20938 RM CC 12 TG 6000 SL 1 WKMG LOCAL6 WKMG- LOCAL 6 (Orlando) [455.209375]
455.50938 RM CC 6 TG 6000 SL 1 WKMG LOCAL6 WKMG- LOCAL 6 I.F.B. (Orlando) [455.509375]


i'll offer that 450.6625 NFM PL 141.3 was monitored today from Brevard during the Palm Bay shooting incident. Units were "sky" and "base".

I'm particularly interested in WOFL/FOX35....

CFN13's chopper is dispatched by Total Traffic Network and operates primarily on the Florida Fleet Talk network https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=7673.

WOFL doesn't have a helicopter so you may not find many comms from them. Last time I heard, they have a sharing agreement with CFN13/TTN (as does WTVT in Tampa using BN9/TTN's chopper.

I don't know of any media outlets that routinely use two-way radio other than communicating with a helicopter. Cell phones have long taken over as a primary source of IFB (newscast audio with producer cues) and general comms for ground crews.

Also news helicopters have downlinks/uplinks that can also be used for for IFB.
