More news stations across this country need to follow in your footsteps--tell viewers stories that are important to them and that they'll remember! Chasing ambulances and shooting aerial news is uninteresting and NOT engaging. So many news stations rely on helo-news--and frankly, we as humans don't see our everyday world from 1000 to 2000 feet. We live in a world of the 3-shot sequence--from the very moment when we get up in the morning--3-shot sequence. Why not tell stories like that. Bravo! Rene Congratulations!

Seriously though, I hope it works out for them in the ratings. I would watch if the stories are good.
