When you are running a story that aired in a previous show, at least pick some new sound. Don't assume someone who watches the 6pm won't watch the 10pm. Reward loyal viewers by updating the story with new info (if there is any) and go back to the raw tape to pick a fresh soundbite.
Requeing sound from the earlier show or picking a bite from a reporter pkg that already aired is lame. It doesn't take a lot of time to run back to an edit bay and scroll through the tape. It takes even less time to pick a new bite if your station has gone tapeless and all the video is on your desktop.
If the sound is from a package, see if the reporter logged extra sound he or she didn't use. They might be able to shoot you a fresh bite or something you can use in an open or tease. Or how about the photog who shot it? Are they busy? Do they remember something they can cue up for you?
