Three Valley television news stations announced an agreement Tuesday to share the operations of a single news helicopter in an effort to cut costs.
Channel 5, Channel 3 and 12 News announced that beginning Sunday, each station will use the same aerial footage for and traffic. The move will provide a single shot for each station to narrate as the stations see fit during a newscast.
Helicopters Inc. will operate the single helicopter out of its Scottsdale airport base, and the helicopter won't have any station logos.
