I'm pretty sure they'll be able to seat a jury here. There are plenty of people who don't watch TV or read the papers. There are others who automatically skip the bad news, or are just too busy to give it any time.
Typically the jurors will be from either the county, where the offense occurred, or they will be from another county, but they still have to be brought to the original place / county of where the offense was committed. You may want to ask AZLawyer.
I am basing my reply on this link:
2005 Florida Code - :: CRIMINAL PROCEDURE AND CORRECTIONS :: JURISDICTION AND VENUEChapter 910
..and specifically on Chapter 910 sub.ch. 910.03 Place of Trial generally:
(3) If a court finds that a fair and impartial jury cannot be impaneled in the county where the offense was committed, and the court determines that once a jury is selected it shall be sequestered, the court on its own motion, or upon a motion of any party, may elect to select a jury from a county other than where the offense was committed. The selection of the alternative county will be governed by the requirements of subsection (2). Upon completion of jury selection, the jury shall be brought for trial to the county where the offense was committed.
(Or the judge orders a change of venue, then this s.ch. applies)
(2) After a court orders a change of venue and in order to protect the defendant's due process rights, the court, upon a motion of any party, shall give priority to any county which closely resembles the demographic composition of the county wherein the original venue would lie.

I sent a msg to NBC 2 re the livestream...I’m pretty disappointed with the lack of information in the tweets, considering there’s no livestream.
