[Scan-DC] 2 Interesting Stories from WUSA-TV this Evening

[Russ Davies]

Very true. Seems all that the newsrooms do anymore is watch Twitter feeds. Gone are the days when they would listen to a bank of scanners and be able to pick out when something significant was happening and knew immediately which jurisdiction. 

I get many an inquiry that starts with "we got a tip that....." which I normally reply "so you saw on Twitter."

I started in the 90's as a BNN operator in PG (BNN124) (but I'd been listening since I was a kid in the 70's).   I offered my 'services' here in Frederick a couple years back to the local paper but was told in no uncertain terms it was a waste of 'their' time.
