Earthquake Tremor Coverage


NYNews

Recommended Posts

Surprise that WPIX is on with coverage. Marvin Scott is on. They rarely break in with coverage. Which I think has to change if they want to be consider as a credible news source in NY.

 

WNBC has Chuck and Shiba anchoring. Pei-Sze, Katy Tur reporting.

 

WCBS has Don Dahler on.

 

WABC has Diana on. Seems they have the most reporters on air reporting.

WABC did indeed break in around 1:59pm, just a few minutes after the ground shook. When I checked, NY1 was the only the other local station live at this time... unless the other stations broke in earlier. Diana Williams assured viewers (myself included) that what they just felt was in fact an earthquake, She tossed back to network programming around 2pm then came back on air a few minutes later after, I assume, WABC quickly coordinated and checked in with their reporters and got them ready to go live. By then, every other station was live.

Exactly I saw the 1:59 PM interruption, then she toss back to soaps.

Jodi is on at WPIX.

 

Surprised about the depth of knowledge Chuck has on earthquakes, on WNBC.

 

 

Chuck is author of "Afterschock: Earthquake in New York", which was made into a television mini-series in 1999 for CBS.

Both Liz Cho and Diana Williams both began the 4pm and 5pm newscasts by mentioning Eyewitness News was first on the air to tell you about the earthquake. I see a cheesy proof-of-performance promo coming from WABC tomorrow...
