When You Try and Hustle a Former Newsie

/

Kirk Clyatt spent years working in TV news. So, when it starting sleeting in Las Vegas, Clyatt shot video of the rare weather event.

Weather Nation saw his post and they wanted to use the video.

Clyatt has seen this play out before and he asked to be paid $50, which seemed reasonable.

Weather Nation passed and only wanted it for free.

I think cable companies should work like that.

Hey Channel X we saw your station and liked it, would you be willing to go on our cable platform for free with no retransmission money?

How do you think that would fly?
