Helicopter Traffic Reports

[Dan Murphy]

I recently heard a traffic report broadcast from a helicopter, which is 
relatively rare these days with traffic cameras everywhere. Right now I can 
recall only three names from earlier traffic helicopter days: Joe Green and 
Joe Morgan on WBZ (Green had a terrible mic/comm setup; NEVER understood a 
single word he said), and Chris Culkeen on WFNX, WZLX, and 98.5 in the 
WROR/WBMX years. When were helicopters first used by Boston news media to 
report traffic or other breaking stories, and who were some of the other 
pilots?
