The news copters still have to rely on good old fashioned two-way radios to talk to the desk, alot of good info can be caught during breaking events. I submitted the TV news freqs to the RR database as RR is pretty light in the media section.
I noticed Most freq lists on the web are way outdated or the PL tones are wrong etc, (they seem to love to mess around alot with their freqs and PL's)... I tend to lockout the transmission/engineering freqs as it's just guys pointing antennas. Here is the most active TV news freqs I recommend....any others?
