QUICK TAKES - June 3, 2009

In a cost-cutting move, three rival L.A. TV stations said Tuesday they would begin pooling some of their newsgathering operations June 15, sending out one camera crew instead of three to shoot video of news conferences and other general-interest events that all of them can use.
The three are NBC-owned KNBC-TV Channel 4, Fox-owned KTTV-TV Channel 11 and KTLA-TV Channel 5, which is owned by Tribune Co. (which also owns The Times). They said they would continue to operate independently in all other aspects of their businesses, including editing and presenting the shared video footage as each newsroom chooses.
