Coverage of last Friday night's storm

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Coverage of last Friday night's storm

Post by Greg Goodfellow »

How would you assess local TV and radio stations' coverage of the storm?

I have to commend LiteRock 93R (WRRR) for their extensive coverage Saturday through Tuesday. OM Scott Northcraft led everyone on Monday, then did updates Tuesday. I haven't checked their coverage as yet today. I'm not sure if their power was restored, but their generator really came through. No doubt a ton of people in the outlying areas may be waiting a while. Several businesses have already passed on kudos to the good folks at Seven Ranges.
