There’s no doubt which sports team is the king of Chicago.

The NFC North-leading Bears are getting all the attention from local media, and the area television stations might be taking it too far.

Initially, ABC 7 Chicago sent their news helicopter into the sky to hover over Soldier Field and watch kicker Cody Parkey practice field goals on Wednesday night.

The other stations couldn’t let the local ABC affiliate get the exclusive scoop, and so WGN-TV is reportedly sending its own chopper up to get the bird’s-eye view.

These television stations are paying pilots and reporters to fly helicopters to watch the Bears kicker practice kicks. Not a full team practice or even Mitchell Trubisky throwing. Just Cody Parkey working out his leg.

Folks, the Bears are officially BACK.
