Lame! Lame! Lame! KOMO covers police chase using traffic cams. While Los Angeles stations follow police chases with helicopters.

Steve McCarron working with street cams to cover a police chase in Bellevue. Trying to confirm reports of the route, whether there were any injuries, a description of the suspect and the outcome of the chase. In other words, KOMO 4 doesn’t have SQUAT!
Seattle TV is nowhere close to KTLA, KCOP, KCAL in Los Angeles where there is coverage several times a week, LIVE and tracked with cameras from a reporter in a helicopter. Need I say, KOMO 4 gave us NOTHING regarding this multi-freeway chase — possible shooting, but KOMO can’t be certain. But– they are making calls. They will let you know later.

LIVE DESK – what?

    That is a damn shame. KOMO should have left it alone rather than stumble through a laundry list of details they couldn’t produce and just a promise that they are making calls to get info. A non-starter.

    There were four choppers for a couple years in the mid-’90s when KSTW had one.

      This must have been during the KSTW CBS moment.

    Their drone use seems to be limited. They are a good tool but seldom used. (Perhaps) due to flight restrictions but would be effective in live events.
