Killing the Live Stream

Just over a week ago, FTVLive told you that Baylee Martin of WTRF in Wheeling, WV was goingTikTok throughout the newscast and interacting with viewers during commercial breaks.

In a follow up story, we told you how Nexstar has a deal with cable providers to not stream the newscasts, and we asked if Martin’s stream was bypassing Nexstar’s policy?

Well, the suits at Nexstar must have read our story, because sources tell FTVLive that Martin was told to pull the plug on the live streams.

But don’t worry, you can still get scintillating content on her TikTok.

Like, Martin got some new lipstick.
