Joint announcement:
Fox Television Stations and The E.W. Scripps Company have created a local news service for the companies' stations in Detroit, Phoenix and Tampa with plans to include other partners in each of the markets.
Beginning in April 2009, the service will pool content-gathering resources at general market news events, allowing the stations to save on duplicate efforts. By reducing costs, the stations will be able to increase their focus and resources on specialized franchise reporting. The stations will continue to operate independently in all other respects of their businesses, including newsgathering operations.
NOTE: These are the two stations not sharing a helicopter.
