Plant Explosion Coverage

Post by genlock »

Did any of the Charleston area radio stations carry live information on the Bayer Cropsciences plant explosion?

Any EAS issued?

Doesn't MSNBC stand for the Media that Spins the News for Barrack's Cabinet?

We had coverage less than ten minutes after the explosion and had info and details live on air well into the night.

B.T. and Steve Animal get major kudos for this.

I was talking to B.T. on the phone when it happened. He was driving the station van back from a remote. I thought someone had run a truck into my house. B.T. saw the giant fireball.

B.T. was on the air immediately after with initial info and Steve ran with it after that.

WCHS, WSWW, WKAZ-FM, WKAZ-AM, The Wolf, The Beat, and V100 went wall to wall coverage for most of the night.

Did WV public Radio do anything at all?
