CBS 58 Becomes the First News Station in Milwaukee to Use Drones for News Coverage

Milwaukee, WI – CBS 58 becomes the first Milwaukee television news station to incorporate drones into its news coverage. The first video images from ‘Sky Drone 58’ appeared on the CBS 58 News at 4pm on Wednesday, December 21st .
