As Ike Gets Closer to Shore, So Do the Networks
This morning, CNN and MSNBC have begun squeezing back their programming, keeping Hurricane Ike stats on the screen. Even The Weather Channel is trying to show the seriousness of the Cat 2 storm to anyone choosing to ride it out. Here's their morning headline: "A Potential Life-Threatening Surge from Ike." We'll update this post throughout the day as we hear who is going to be covering the storm and from where... • CNN — More than 70 anchors, correspondents, producers and support-personnel will report along the Texas coastline, representing CNN/U.S., CNN International, CNN Espanol, CNN Radio, CNN.com and Headline News. In addition to Cooper, Rick Sanchez, Gary Tuchman, Sean Callebs, Betty Nguyen, Susan Candiotti, Jeanne Meserve, Ali Velshi, Rusty Dornin, Rob Marciano and Reynolds Wolf will report on the storm. CNN will remain live all night and into the morning. • CBS — Hari Sreenivasan is in Houston. Dave Price is in Galveston. Both will report for the Evening News tonight and The Early Show tomorrow. • FNC — Geraldo Rivera, Steve Harrigan and Marianne Silber are in Galveston, TX, as is Jeff Flock from FBN.
