Link To Streaming Video Of WWL-4 Hurricane Coverage

WWL-4 has begun hurricane coverage (which will likely continue until either the storm passes through the New Orleans area, or the station gets knocked-off the air, a possibility as the storm should intensify to a class 4 by landfall with a couple of forecasters at the National Hurricane Center hinting there's an outside chance of an intensification to class 5 status), and it's being streamed on the Internet.

Click-on www.wwltv.com/perl/common/video/wmPlayer.pl?title=beloint_wwltv&props=noad to access the WWL webcast.

Since WWL is a CBS-TV affiliate, it's possible that once the storm gets closer to Louisiana, the station's coverage may also be webcast at www.cbsnews.com. Should the CBS News website end up streaming WWL's storm coverage, you may find better picture and sound quality there than on WWL's website as the CBS News website will be able to accomodate more users for streaming video than WWL-TV's.

Link To WDSU-6 Hurricane Coverage

RFLA suggested that WDSU-6 would also stream their coverage.

As of this writing (3 A.M. EDT Sunday, August 28th), WDSU's coverage is being streamed. It's actually a simulcast of their Weather Plus digital sub-channel, but instead of the usual combination of NBC-produced Weather Plus forecasts along with local weather maps and radar, the Weather Plus feed is broadcasting WDSU's live storm coverage.

You can access it directly at http://mfile.akamai.com/12912/live/reflector:38202.asx. It will open up the feed on Windows Media Player.

Since WDSU is an NBC affiliate, it's possible that at some point, the station's live streaming hurricane coverage may also become available at MSNBC.com.

Personal observation: Around 2:30 A.M. EDT, I had a chance to view the WDSU webstream, and the video quality wasn't as good as that of WWL-4's (I have a DSL connection).
