Thanks to TV consultants, stations do live shots for no other reason than to go live.

KOAT (Albuquerque) sent Reporter Stella Sun to the station’s parking lot to front a story about vote tampering.

The station’s call letters and logo were seen behind Sun as she tagged out “reporting live here In Albuquerque….”

We then presume that she walked a few feet to her car and drove home for the day.
