TV War Coverage Observations

["Mark Watson" <markwats@attbi.com>]

  Having been around a TV off and on the last several hours today (Sunday),
I've noted the following:

   WCVB (Channel 5) brought in Natalie Jacobson to anchor the 6PM news solo,
as she does weekdays. It's a shortened newscast however, as they are still
going with a pre-Oscar special from Boston & Hollywood that started at 6:15.

   WHDH (Channel 7) going with their weekend evening anchor team of Steve
Cooper and Andrea Stassou (sp?). Earlier in the afternoon WHDH was carrying
MSNBC coverage of the war in lieu of NBC's Arena Football game.

   New England Cable News has weeknight anchor R.D.Sahl joining weekend
anchor Tom Ellis at the anchor desk.

   CBS has been going with the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament, with
occasional cut ins from Dan Rather updating war developments.

   Haven't turned on a radio today as of yet, can anyone comment on how much
war coverage WBZ and other Boston area stations are airing today?
