Channel 4 to get Foxier

Michael Page details how WBZ and WFXT will start sharing resources - like a helicopter and, eventually, videotaping of press conferences and the like. Page adds Channel 4 is hopeful other Boston stations will join the arrangement, which one supposes could eventually mean six reporters providing different narration for the same exact footage, at least until the news directors realize that's pretty wasteful and decide to fire everybody on staff except for one camera person and an intern. Or something.

Breaking News - Who cares?
Are there that many people left who still watch "local, live, coverage you can count on" news? Other than NECN, the endless cycles of weather, sports, celeb coverage have completely overwhelmed coverage. It's been a number of years since any of the local tv stations have had a full-time state house reporter.
I think that everyone's time is better spent looking at the Globe's web site, universal hub (of course) and other quirkier local blogs.
