A MediaDailyNews article on Aug. 16 said the NBC-owned Philadelphia station has a deal with the location-based social app, foursquare, involving news coverage. There is no formal arrangement and NBC
labeled it a "partnership" in their announcement. The arrangement does not involve any content-sharing or promotional swaps or money. Foursquare approached NBC seeking a way to integrate local news
into its check-in process, a spokesman for the station said.
