The Inbox...

FTVLive is sharing emails from newsies around the country that have a take, a rant, or some advice to share.

Today’s email piggybacks on yesterday’s email and wonders if what we are seeing now could be the future of TV news?

I wonder who will be the first TV agent to negotiate a home studio into a contract for an anchor? I could even envision the producer having to go their home, if not also work entirely remotely.

As mentioned in your inbox email on Monday, this is the new normal, but in next in 2021 negotiations, we will see this as a demand. Will companies cave? Will anchors have to shave 10k off their salaries to make it happen? Will they still be able to have the big bucks?

And, does this mean stations on the west coast could share anchors from home with east coast? You know, different time zones means different shows.
