Hurricane Milton


Recommended Posts

WWSB is set up in a conference room at the Gold Coast Eagle distribution center.  They're the local Anheuser-Busch distributor.

I wonder, is it a trade? 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

National update: Lester Holt and David Muir are anchoring on the ground in Florida. Norah O'Donnell however is in studio in Washington. 

 

She is however on her way out so I wouldn't blame her for opting out of storm coverage if that's how it went.

 

West Palm Beach Stations were apparently going commercial free during their newscasts due Milton related to tornado outbreaks.

WFLD in the Chicago area will be showing coverage from the Fox stations in Orlando and Tampa after the nine o'clock news. 

 

I believe they're only showing FOX 13 Tampa (now until 4:30A) and not FOX 35 Orlando.

The impression I'm getting is they may shift to other stations if the Fox Local team decides to do so.

WFLD said they would air FOX 13 from 10P-4:30A CST. Granted, if something happens with the feed, they would have to air something else (probably FOX Weather).

For the Fox Weather overnight simulcast on FNC, unlike the last few times they've done this, they brought in FNC news anchor Kevin Corke to host tonight's coverage while Ian Oliver provides the weather information.

 

I believe the previous simulcasts for hurricane coverage only used Fox Weather meteorologists.

Despite their website schedule claiming otherwise, MSNBC repeated their primetime lineup as usual from 12:00am to 5:00am ET. The only difference is a repeat of The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell aired at 3:00am ET instead of the usual repeat of All In With Chris Hayes. 

 

MSNBC's primetime shows pretty much split their time between politics and hurricane coverage. As a loyal MSNBC viewer, I'm fine with this as I'm not interested in watching hours and hours of non-stop hurricane coverage especially before the hurricane makes landfall, but it does look really bad for MSNBC to devote half their primetime shows to hurricane coverage before the hurricane makes landfall and then air repeats of that same coverage at the peak time of landfall. You spend all day talking about how 12:00am/1:00am/2:00am will be the biggest and then when that time comes you go to repeats of the 9:00pm hour. If they didn't want to do live non-stop coverage overnight they at least could have aired the primetime repeats with live hurricane updates replacing the hours old hurricane coverage from before. I remember they used to go wall to wall coverage for hurricanes and would have anchors like Richard Lui anchor overnight coverage (it appears Richard Lui still works for MSNBC even though they almost never break in to cover breaking news on weekends overnight now)

I am glad you mentioned this, I had similar observations. MSNBC is not the channel for breaking news anymore. It is largely political commentary.

 

NBC News Now appears to be where the network is diverting their general news coverage to.

 

Amid all their faults, CNN and The Fox News Channel are better at diverting from politics to cover breaking or general news. The exception I saw was Sean Hannity using his show to say FEMA funds were being diverted to illegal immigrants.

 

MSNBC may break for a moment to cover an actual breaking story, but goes back to their status quo, orange man bad.

Technically, landfall occurred while All In was airing (around 8:30 p.m. ET), but the observation still stands, considering the effects of Milton stretched throughout the night, well after the storm center exited the Florida Space Coast into the Atlantic.
