A new news video service aims to help local broadcasters save money during challenging times, while providing news video from across the country that they might not otherwise have access to.
NewsNet, America’s free, over-the-air 24-hour news channel, has launched NewsNet Wire, a free content-sharing service allowing stations to access stories of regional and national interest — produced both by the NewsNet network and other NewsNet wire affiliates — while sharing their own video with other stations.
“In this day and age, we’ve found that stations are looking for more content while dealing with tight budgets,” said Eric Wotila, NewsNet president. “That’s why we’re initially launching NewsNet wire as a service that’s absolutely free to stations affiliating with the service.”
