RGSJenkins 432 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Sunday in NYC: (Watching between 8a-10a and 4p-6p) WNJU simulcasted sister station WSCV in the morning before switching to national coverage of Irma in the afternoon. WXTV aired national coverage with Jorge Ramos in the morning before airing normal network programming however WXTV locally broke in to cover the Pope's visit to Colombia for a hour before returning back to normal network programming.

TheRolyPoly 1844 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 WESH stopped their non stop coverage at 6:30 for NN. Don't knot know if it was started up again after NN. Too bad they suffered some damage! Thank God it wasn't right over the brand new set! Which begs the question: Where are news sets usually placed in buildings? In the strongest part of the building? I know WISN's is right off the lobby, TMJ4's is in the back of the building. As for Coverage WESH, WFTV WKMG were top notch for me , Didn't think to look at Fox 35. LOVING that News 13's Stream(As well as Bay News 9) is open to everyone! Love News 13 everytime i come to FL! Had awesome music in the early 2000's. Anyone think they'll keep it open to everyone if they get enough good responses? So glad for the tons of coverage TWC's been putting out since the Eclipse! I wonder how long that will continue.....I'd wish they realize that they don't need longform! WeatherNation's been great too! I love News 13. I've been watching The Weather Channel alot as well. Oh... and you'll be surprised to hear this... WJXT did three more hours of coverage so they must have been on-air from yesterday after coming back from CNN until tonight at 11:35 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1844 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 UPDATE: WJXT has FINALLY gone off Hurricane Irma coverage after days! They just got off at midnight after providing continuing coverage for two straight days (besides the CNN overnight simulcast leading to Sunday morning). First program on-air since the coverage started at 12:00 noon Saturday was 2 Broke Girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrh1985 56 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Are any stations still doing coverage? Or have they all returned to regular programming?

johnnya2k6 171 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 On the Atlanta side: WSB, WAGA, and WXIA had Irma coverage all afternoon Monday; WGCL stuck with regular programming but had half-hourly updates. Overall, I thought 11Alive was best; they even had a Twitter scroll at the bottom of the screen...something that the other stations should think about utilizing next time.

Eat News 4738 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 The race is on to get a solid sat signal out of Key West. You can't drive in a sat truck yet... So that leaves pups (portable uplinks sat). You gotta fly it in...or by boat. Including crew,power,food etc... Who will be first? Update..CNN at Big Pine Key with cellular that is failing.

TheRolyPoly 1844 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 WJXT expanded its 11pm news just for tonight for after Irma coverage. They did the same thing at 4pm. So they ran three hours from 4-7pm plus 10pm-12midnight. I wish WJXT can finally go to 4:30pm too since running Inside Edition twice a day, three hours apart, is just ridiculous.

Mrtraveler01 737 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 News 13 Orlando was still open to everyone this morning. I hope that continues! WESH went off at the normal time this morning. I think the plan for News 13 is to keep the coverage going for free until all the power and cable outages are repaired. But I agree, they have done a pretty good job covering the local aftermath of Irma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all of the TV stations in Ft. Myers managed to stay on the air. I've found nothing that said otherwise. Radio was a different story. http://www.news-press.com/story/news/2017/09/12/irma-aftermath-radio-stations-slowly-go-air-again-fort-myers-cape-coral-area/658702001/ Even radio stations in Miami got knocked off the air.

blizzard59 41 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Apparently WFTX evacuated to WFTS in Tampa late Friday/ early Saturday. Thanks for sharing. That explains why there's been a WFTX program feed uplinked to satellite since Saturday. The transmitter is probably being fed with the satellite feed, similar to the KHOU situation. Probably also explains the virtual set WFTX newscasts have been using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race to Mile 01... Where you gonna find an available helo right now within 1000 miles of the gulf? All the helos that hold that much gear are assigned to oil support companies...and they are booked right now. Skyforce 7 may be able to ferry a reporter and some granola bars. You have to stay for a while. maybe even establish a bureau so you OWN the story for the next few weeks... The military may set up an uplink...but you will need to embed and play by those rules....and you don't control nuttin. You could charter a fishing boat...if you can find one that didn't sink....so you charter out of Pensacola or Mobile, make a big Costco run...and head to the Key Largo harbor(1-2 days) and live off the boat and set-up at the harbor. You can rent a car from somebody with cash. Once you get an open highway you can re-supply by land. The networks used to have flyaway packs/pups ready to deploy for stuff like this. Hell CBS had a Humvee with Bob Simon that raced across the iraq desert (he lost) during Desert Storm. Dude... I think we are screwed,,, I don't think you can find a KU pac available anywhere near the south. They all got rented for Harvey to keep KHOU and other stations patched together. Ok.... Gimme a barge...a KU-KA sprinter van...2 generators...and 2 small RV's with all kinds of food and water... ...and some Booze and Guns.... To control the wild Parrot Heads. Cheese Burger in Paradise?

Rusty Muck 4164 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Welp, it wasn't WSVN that got damaged by Irma, but it's long-ago radio sister and next-door neighbor, WIOD/600. WIOD's studios now reside with the rest of the iHeart Miami cluster, with their former studios still serving as their transmission site. That got damaged somehow (with no specifics in the linked article) and WIOD is temporarily running their programming off of sister station WINZ/940.

TheRolyPoly 1844 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I'm not surprised at how the ratings turned out to be in Miami for Irma coverage. As usual, WSVN finished #1, followed by WPLG at #2, WTVJ #3 and no surprise here either... WFOR at #4. Look at A35-64... WSVN got 114K... 114K!

They did a really good job and didn't do their standard "hype the living daylights out of everything" approch that they usually take towards news.
