TV stations are linked by the same wire services as newspapers and radio.
Also ‘sister stations’ owned by the same corporation share stories...................

Off topic but this reminding me of something.
Years ago I traveled a lot for my job. In the evening I would watch the local news to see what was going on. I began to notice the same stories would appear on different local stations with the same script only with the local reporter reading the script.
For the most part these were “puff pieces” that an industry or company would send to the stations along with the script.
Basically advertisement masquerading as news.
I suppose it is still happening but since I quit watching any broadcast news years ago I don’t know.
I understand your point about sister stations, etc.
I guess I should have completed my thought:
Both WKRC and the local station KOKH are owned by Sinclair Broadcasting.
The news story had/has been on the front page of the Cincinnati station WKRC but I could not find that story or any similar story on the local station KOKH.
No big deal either way.
