Big Country News 435 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Shepard Smith called the eclipse a "Big Day" and said they've planned special coverage on, at least, FOX News Channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRob 920 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 has fox confirmed that they are offering a (presumably level 2) special report on the eclipse? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainNews 285 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRob 920 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 how far in advance does fox send special reprort notifications? Outside of elections, FOX doesn't send notifications far in advance, maybe 24 hours at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sctvhound 27 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 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.

Mrtraveler01 737 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 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.

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.

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
