6ABC Chopper Promo Observation

I've been seeing a promo on Channel 6 lately stating that they are the only station with its own chopper. I know 3, 10, & 29 share a chopper, but I don't know how six can run a promo like that when they themselves share their chopper. As part of their agreement with WFMZ, both stations share stories and video including video shot from Chopper 6. Heck during the big explosion in Allentown a few weeks ago WFMZ had live video on air from Chopper 6 and even stated a few times it was from "their partner station WPVI". Sure Ch 69 only uses 6's aerials around once a week, but still I think the promo is misleading.
 
I see your point about WPVI's "chopper hypocrisy", but I believe their point is that theirs is the only chopper not shared with stations based in Philadelphia. Sure, Allentown is part of the Philly DMA, but still...

Actually 3, 10 and 29 share two choppers between them.
