About a year ago, I wrote about KWWL being the first Iowa station to make use of a drone as part of its live coverage.
KWWL is the NBC affiliate in Waterloo owned by Quincy Media.
In the article I wrote: “TV stations are increasingly using a relatively new storytelling tool to provide their viewers with a point-of-view that was usually only available by helicopter. Steady, sweeping, controlled aerial footage from drones can provide viewers with the scope of a story like flooding, a scope that can’t be conveyed with shots from the ground.”
KWWL earned two Upper Midwest regional Emmy awards for its September 2016 coverage of flooding in eastern Iowa, one for its morning newscast and the other for its noon news.
Both newscasts featured the use of the KWWL drone as part of its coverage of the flooding.
KWWL’s Emmy awards are for market sizes 71-120.
