Everyone has hurricane coverage on with ad breaks. Cought NBC6 already with a promo about the coverage promoting Weather Plus with it.
Choice quote: Brian Norcross ” …here’s a very nice circular shape about it. Nice in terms of what the storm might think about itself in some sense”
Im running around the channels if I get that NBC6 promo I might post it

4:23am NBC6 has Julia Yarbough and Tony Segreto on. The’ve been on for at least 15 hours it seems. Segreto looks and talks very sleepy. Julia too but she was awesome all during the coverage. The morning news teams at the other stations have taken over, WPLG is running ads, WSVN is commercial free, WFOR I think has ads every once in a while.
