Thirty years ago, many of those media freqs were in use. I would tune into them to get breaking news right from the scenes. Within ten years, all activity disappeared. Everyone moved to more secure frequencies. In this age of Nextel, digital cell phones, and Wi-Fi, I doubt there will be any significant activity heard on those old media freqs.

We only use our 2-way to tune in live shots these days. With stations trying to scoop each other daily, we use cell/nextel. So the odds of anyone hearing any juicy info over a 2-way radio these days are slim and none!

Oh, and one other thing. Channel 2 has lost there Helo due to budget cuts, and they aint getting it back so that freq is dead as far as Helo traffic, maybe theyll use it as a back up to tune in live shots or something...

Their Web site seems to be lacking a lot lately, too. This explains it.
