I wanted to make sure this was okay to post fully and was just informed it is, so...sounds like we may have more to come from CT.The interview we aired last night with Teresa's mother and sister was conducted by the ABC affiliate in New Haven, CT (WTNH).
The interview was done using their studio, their cameras, their anchor, etc.
Therefore, I'm told the footage becomes their property, and it's up to them to decide who they want to share it with.
As soon as we found out about the interview, we reached out to WTNH to see if we could air it in our market. Their station and my station reached a deal to let us use it, but only if we agreed NOT to post any of it online.
I believe WTNH is planning to do a special report of their own at some point in the next few weeks. They were ok with the interview airing in our market, but did not want it online in case viewers in WTNH's area see it before their special report is ready.
Trust me, I wish as badly as you do that I was able to post those videos online -- unfortunately I can't because that would violate our agreement with them.
The most I can suggest is reaching out to WTNH to see if they will change their minds, or just waiting for their story to air (I'm guessing that will happen sometime in the next week and a half, and I'm sure their story will get posted).
