Booking a news crew: what to expect
What happens after I send a request?
A coordinator at the assignment desk reviews it and confirms your crew — typically within minutes during breaking news.
The story is breaking right now. Should I still use the form?
No — call 707-940-LIVE. Phone is always the fastest way to get a crew rolling.
What information helps you confirm faster?
The story and location, your live windows or hit times with time zone, the deliverables you need, how you want the video sent, and a point of contact in your newsroom.
Can I book coverage in more than one city?
Yes. List every market in the assignment details and the desk will coordinate all of them. See where we have crews.
