TheRob 940 Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 The earthquake in Anchorage this morning knocked all the TV stations off air. I would assume many radio stations were affected too.

Samantha 2906 Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Made this its own thread, as the damage is quite serious for KTVA per the live walkthrough. Fallen ceiling tiles, broken cameras and monitors, shattered glass, and water on the floor. You get the sense the building will need structural repairs in addition to the cleanup effort, and with KTVA having no sister stations, that might be a little harder.
GoldenShine9 1515 Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Does the cable company GCI have any other offices? If they are in any decent shape, they could work out of them. But yeah that is awful. I hope there were no injuries there.

GCI did such a nice job with the KTVA studios after they bought it. It's going to be extremely difficult for them to recover. Neither KTVA nor KTUU has a live stream going at this point.
TheRob 940 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Posted November 30, 2018 KTVA is still streaming over Facebook, just walking around the building for the most part.
T.L. Hughes 907 Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 KTVA also is live-streaming coverage of the earthquake aftermath on its website, although the quake might have affected the audio equipment, as the stream has very muffled audio.
AaronQ 288 Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 More images of the damages at KTVA's newsroom. https://twitter.com/cassieschirmtv/status/1068590337768083456
Eat News 4745 Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 KTVA just pulled off a liveshot inside a CBS SR at Noon PST.... That was bad ass! To get a liveshot out of KTVA during these circumstances this early into the story is a giant score! Plus... They were thrashed...and they are in freaking Alaska. Nice Job! Now get those cameras in the city and lets's see some real kick-butt coverage.
johnnya2k6 171 Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Being from and having lived in Alaska for a long-ass time...I don’t know. But I can bet KTVA and KTUU will no doubt pull a WSB with their earthquake coverage (I assume all programming has been preempted)!
DENDude 224 Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 KTUU in Anchorage is now live streaming on there website, note though, the live stream has been intermittent: https://www.ktuu.com/livestream2/
DENDude 224 Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Thanks for the link to the live stream.
Payton39 27 Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 I was following on an Anchorage radio station. I had thought all the stations were knocked off air. Is it all one multiopoly (if that's even a thing, like a duopoly, but more stations)?
mre29 1588 Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 Based on the app icons in that "Navigation" folder, I have a feeling that 51,533 refers to just emails.
johnnya2k6 171 Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 They’re still picking up the pieces and have already went back on the air, but because of the way they handled the earthquake coverage on social media, I have a feeling KTVA will earn Emmys (regional and maybe a national) and possibly a Peabody; the latter a first for Alaska.
