Oddly enough...

bktheirregularI hear stuff all the time about TV stations breaking into their programming to show car chases as they unfold, live, from chopper-cams and sky-cams and the like.
Funnily enough, though, I can't recall an instance - not one - in which the New York television stations interrupted the viewing schedule to show a car being chased on a New York highway. Of course, I hardly watch any television, but it hardly even makes the local 11:00 news unless the car ended up crashing into a minivan, and even then, the only video you get is generally the mangled aftermath.
Is showing the chases live an LA thing? Or maybe not showing them - or not detailing choppers to follow - is a New York thing? I wonder which way of handling it is more common?
Hm.
Close entry.
