KING's 2nd chopper is actually the same Metro chopper doing KIRO710's reports it's a combo radio/TV ship that belongs to Metro traffic (and actually they lease it from an aviation firm)... The radio reporter sits up front, the TV reporter sits in back --
The radio guy uses the VHF KIRO710 radio for reports, the TV reporter's audio/video go via 2Ghz microwave to one of several KING microwave receive sites. Coord and cues get to the chopper via the usual KING UHF radio freqs.
: the 2nd copter is dedicated to the morning commute sais the advertisment.. are they sharing freq?? or did anyone spot them on new freqs?
