Nice photo, good reminder that TV news did not invent helicopter coverage. KALE radio, (clearly seen on the chopper), then Portland calls, now belong to Tri-Cities, Washington.
On a similar train of thought, who was the first Portland station to provide live copter coverage? I know KIRO in Seattle kind of set the pace in that market around 1978-79 if I'm not mistaken. (so much so, that in the news open they included it with the same importance as the anchors!) L.A. stations even earlier...
