Hello. I found these licensed channels for them which may be used for the news crews:
Facility ID: 73318

KEH531
450.3875
455.3875

WPJZ875
450.3875
455.3125
455.3875

WPMQ897
153.17

WPMQ899
450.3125
450.3875

Here's the story you referred to:

They use 450.3125 most of the time for setting up live shots and I haven't heard any activity on any others you list so far. I believe they use cell phones for most of their dispatching anyway.

They let hints slip out on both of these freq's from time to time, but fuzzymoto is correct. The interesting thing is that 153.17 has 2 PL's: 173.8 and 118.8, which are broadcast simultaneously. Not sure why or how. Also 450.3125 PL 123.0, but have also logged 118.8. Haven't found enough use of 118.8 to determine any pattern.

Maybe Bob Reynolds, Mr PL guy, will share his knowledge of these.

Also, WBRE uses 463.5250 for Williamsport LIve shots, and 463.9000 local liveshots. These are LTR freq's that have a lot of other traffic, and they almost never use them to report news.
