I assume most stations in New Orleans have coverage of the storms, but I assuem some FM stations are off the air. Anyone know what stations may be off the air? Are any playing regular programming and are there any live local jocks on? Just wondering. Thanks.

I'm in Lafayette (about 90 miles west) so I can only pick up the higher powered stations. So far, only 92.3 WDVW appears to still be online, and they're only running dead carrier. The other stations I can usually pick up here - 93.3 WQUE, 95.7 WTKL, 97.1 WEZB, 104.1 KHEV and 105.3 WKBU - all seem to be off.

Also, I'm not sure if it's something to do with our Cox system here in Lafayette or with their transmitter, but 2 WBRZ/Baton Rouge has been static all morning. 9 WAFB/Baton Rouge is still going, as are 33 WVLA and 44 WGMB.

You know a hurricane is going to be bad when the TV stations "leave town" Channel 6 and Channel 4 in New Orleans both have setup remote studios and uplinks to their transmitters (while their still working) at their sister stations at great distance from the New Orleans area.<P ID="signature">______________

WLOX 13 in Biloxi didn't evacuate right away. Someone watching the video stream said the air staff finally realized they needed to leave this morning. Their weatherman said, "I'm the last one here, we're evacuating", and he simply walked off.
 
Update on WLOX website -

Hurricane Katrina Update
WLOX has suffered roof damage due to the high winds of Hurricane Katrina. Some parts of the building are under a foot of water.
Updates of storm coverage are being supplied from WLOX's sister stations.
