Looks like reporter & photographer:

The cameraman was engaged to a producer,not the reporter.

Allowing that to go out was wrong on the locals part..How would the producer like to see his significant any one be shot live.
I believe even live has a delay and the producer sits on the button

Beard? Hmmm? Could be a homegrown millennial hipster. Looks like he lacks a mustache so he could be Amish. Are we on alert for a white guy in a white box van yet? /s

It was a remote at Smith Mountain Lake which is a high dollar area.

I watched a WDBJ via CNN. It’s what they said. The cameraman was engaged to a producer at the station who is leaving, today was her last day. The reporter was seeing somebody else at the station.

This happened not too far from Red House. What was the story they were working on? Muslim traing camps in Va.?
