The NFL will allow more local television stations to cover games from the sidelines next season under a policy change prompted by complaints from broadcast media. Lawmakers in Missouri and Arizona had challenged an NFL policy, adopted for last season, that removed most local video cameras from the sidelines. Instead, TV stations were required to get sideline footage from a pool photographer or use the network television clips. Broadcast stations complained the policy prohibited them from zooming in on particular players for feature stories that would be of interest to their local audiences.
I'm glad the local stations fought the NFL on this one. NFL = Dictatorship :flap:
