I'm not too sure about NBC and Weather Channel teaming up it seems lately they have not been hating resources

We will have an extra hour of news in Kansas City. Wouldn't it be awful if we had a cloudy day after all that hype?

Looking forward to that live special coverage on TV in addition to seeing it in person from the comfort of my family's house.

either CBS Local or CW via CBS Local might cover it if CBS Themselves doesn't do anything about it then again their going to have that We Day Special thing tonight.

I haven't seen any indication of it. FOX has News Edge live shots scheduled from Idaho Falls with Lauren Blanchard, and that's all I see right now.

how far in advance does fox send special reprort notifications?

Posted

At this point NBC (Excluding MSNBC) has no other choice but to have coverage I think it would be stupid if they (NBC, besides msnbc) and CBS didn’t have any coverage.

Outside of elections, FOX doesn't send notifications far in advance, maybe 24 hours at most.

The Charleston stations, being in the totality, are going all out. Channel 5 (WCSC) is running four hours of eclipse coverage, Noon-4pm, based from the Charleston RiverDogs baseball stadium, Riley Park, while Channel 4 (WCIV) is preempting ABC's coverage and running their own from the USS Yorktown from Noon-3pm.

 

The NBC, WCBD, is running a special 30 minute show, and PBS (SCETV) is running special statewide coverage simulcast on radio and TV.

 

WYFF in the Upstate is running a special hour, and the Columbia stations are also running (at least WIS NBC and WLTX CBS) are doing their own coverage.

St. Louis is on the edge of totality (the southern suburbs are in the dead center of it) and as a result the stations here have been doing various stories about how St. Louis and the towns around it are preparing themselves for the eclipse.

 

Looking at the guide, the only special programming I see is that KMOV is doing coverage of the eclipse from 12:00pm-2:00 which is when the eclipse is scheduled to occur here.

 

EDIT: KSDK is also doing special coverage of the eclipse from 12:30-1:30. Still nothing from KTVI/KPLR. KDNL is just going to air ABC's national coverage.

KBEX-TV will be live at the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Lion Country Safari and the Humane Society Animal Shelter....

 

We will watch animals freak out during the eclipse.

 

Hosted By Kathy Griffin (impersonator)

WPDE in Myrtle Beach is also plugging their own 3 hour special from Noon-3pm. It appears they might be pre-empting ABC's national coverage also as they mention being at various sites around the area.

NBC has announced coverage with Lester Holt anchoring special coverage in the 1/2 PM ET hours with meteorologist Dylan Dreyer in New York and Al Roker in Charleston, SC among other correspondents along the path.

Nothing from CBS yet. CBS isn’t really involved in Weather/meteorology in general it seems like.

Plus they happen to run two of the highest-rated soaps, so I think they're leaving it to the affiliates.

How does this impact Monday's days of our lives episode?
