Re: Major Power Outage

["Kevin Vahey" <kvahey@tmail.com>]

Overnight Thursday WFAN was simulcasting WCBS and WNEW was simulcasting 
WINS

WWOR and WNYW were knocked off air completly as they had no backup power 
at ESB

NY1 stopped feeding as Time Warner was down 100%....

Overall I would say WCBS did the best job radiowise, can't say anything 
about TV because didn't have access to a battery tv.
