Another Field Losing Practioners: Eyes in the Sky
It turns out many radio stations are grounding their helicopter traffic reporters. Now many report from in front of multiple monitors tracking feeds and video cameras. Some do reports for multiple stations under multiple names, often for far less pay than when they were in the air.
Traffic information (if not the causes of backups) provided on GPS or phone-based apps are part of the reason traffic is less of importance. Another reason: music stations find they do better (that is have more listeners) when the don't interrupt with traffic reports.
