Yeah, prior to the deal, TWC used live shots courtesy of KDKA (CBS) and KDKA reporters during severe weather events in the Pittsburgh area. Now they always use the WPXI (NBC) towercam.

TWC has featured live shots from (and mentioned) KXAS many a time, so I am not at all surprised to see someone from that station coming on-board.Well I would hope they are getting live reports from NBC affiliates and not CBS or ABC affiliates since after all they are owned by NBC.I believe that when NBC took ownership, TWC discontinued any agreements with non-NBC affiliates.I could have sworn I saw some ABC affiliate in the past but perhaps I was wrong.There's only been one case I can think of on MSNBC (which is similar in policy) where they used a non-NBC affiliate: when the Binghamton, NY shootings happened, they used WBNG's resources. (WBNG is a CBS affiliate.)But I've seen a mix of Big Fours on TWC in the past...I seem to remember either WSB or WGCL was used for an Atlanta report (even after the TWC buyout), and of course TWC had larger deals with WSB and WCBS in the past.
