What we cover

Two kinds of news. One crew to call.

Some stories give no warning. Others are on the calendar for months. Television stations and national outlets contract Live Core for both.

Unscheduled

Breaking news scenes

When it happens without warning, our photographers go to the scene and roll — then move broadcast-ready video to your newsroom fast.

  • Fires, crime scenes, and major incidents
  • Severe weather and natural disasters
  • Overnight and weekend spot news
  • Scene video, b-roll, and nat sound

  • Court hearings, trials, and pool coverage
  • Press conferences and political events
