Breaking News Coverage
Spot news photographers and video crews dispatched the moment news breaks (fires, crime scenes, severe weather, and major incidents) with broadcast-ready footage moved fast.
Coverage market
Breaking news coverage, live shots, ENG crews, and news photography across South Texas, dispatched through our Las Vegas assignment desk, 24/7.
Laredo is one of the 100 U.S. markets where Live Core Productions maintains coverage. From spot news and severe weather to courts, politics, and special events, our Laredo crews deliver broadcast-ready video and stills to newsrooms nationwide.
Whether it is a one-hour live hit or a week-long trial, our Laredo teams work to broadcast standards and your station style guide. Deliverables move fast (raw b-roll, cut VOSOTs, or full packages) through whatever workflow your newsroom already uses.
The assignment desk is live 24/7 at 707-940-LIVE. Call, or send a request and we will confirm your Laredo crew within minutes, not hours.
Laredo generates border trade and immigration, and that is where our Laredo crews spend most of their days: Laredo City Hall and the Webb County Justice Center, the World Trade International Bridge, and the Sames Auto Arena. The same crews cover Downtown Laredo, North Laredo, Del Mar, San Isidro, and the World Trade Bridge corridor and the surrounding communities of South Texas when the story moves.
Scheduled coverage in Laredo includes press conferences, trials and hearings, campaign stops, sports and entertainment at the World Trade International Bridge, the Sames Auto Arena, and the Rio Grande, commencements and campus stories at Texas A&M International University, Laredo College, and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Laredo campus, and the planned events that fill a rundown. We shoot to your style guide, deliver b-roll, VOSOTs, or full packages, and return the raw media the same day.
Live shots from Laredo are supported end to end: LiveU and TVU bonded cellular, IFB and return video, satellite coordination when a story calls for it, and a photographer who treats a live window as sacred. We have hit windows from the World Trade International Bridge, the Sames Auto Arena, and the Rio Grande and from scenes with no infrastructure at all.
