The following is an email I generated and a response I got from a gentleman at KATU. Good question, good answer. The only issue I have with television news is why so much is spent on marketing instead of bringing us as much news as possible. I'm desperate for a decent news source in Oregon.
Sir,
Why weren't any news helicopters in Portland able to get an aerial video-shot of that 80 minute chase recently? I was really surprised.
Thanks for your time,
John

2,6,&8 usually come in at 10am so that they can work us till 7 at night,
because of this they have to call in the pilots if something happens before
10. the problem with that is we ourselves get stuck in the same traffic and
almost never get there in time.
money is to tight for them to hire extra pilots and they don't pay overtime
either, aviation has strict rules on the amount of hours you can fly per day
so they try to cover the times they feel are most important.
hope this answered your questions,
if you would like more info let me know
