Missing Baby Coverage Notes
KWCH led off their 10PM with news that a baby was abducted when the car it was in was stolen. KSN led their newscast off with it as well and even had the first live pictures from the scene, but that was as far as they got outside of moving text on bottom of screen with information. KAKE jumped on it a little later after their lead story. Both KWCH and KAKE had a live picture from a police press conference announcing a baby was missing. About an hour after regular newscasts ended and the baby was located, KWCH was first to break in that the baby was found. 11 minutes later KSN had the news on text at the bottom of the screen. About 14 minutes after the news first broke on KWCH, KAKE broke in to say the baby was found and safe. KWCH even had Cindy Klose in the studio for its reports, following the press conference. Continued good hustle on KWCH's part as they had the first live pictures from where the baby was found. Gotta say KWCH won this battle, having the most up to date info and having it first as well. -Hal.
