There's a solution to the chaser issue as it pertains to media coverage, and it isn't specific to the OKC metro area. Put the best chasers on the payroll and don't hamstring them with safety clauses. TV channels across the country (and their parent companies) want to have their cake and eat it too whilst relieving themselves of any liability. They believe they are entitled to footage and content and that they should pay nothing. They're multi-billion dollar corporations, yet they offer credit and a heavily-slanted contract that includes a perpetuity clause and gives them the right to profit off of the content......FOR NOTHING.


I agree with you on this. Private chasers will never have the vehicles, choppers and millions of dollars in radar equipment TV has. But I do agree TV is too big and controlling. But for tornados they rule coverage

They don't, or they wouldn't be routinely begging people for video.

For as much as I don't care for Ryan Hall, he's put his money where his mouth is. He shares profits with the chasers he uses and they've donated a hell of a lot of money and supplies to storm victims all while there's nothing but crickets from TV.
