About half of the stations went off before the storm but they have been switching between transmitters because most are still on generator, look at previous posts for the info.

Currently as of 2pm Labor day:
92.3 WDVW (stereo pilot missing - Relaying Citadel BR hurricane coverage)
93.3 WQUE (stereo -Relaying united broadcasting info)
94.9 WPRF (dead carrier)
98.5 WYLD (very low signal -Relaying united info)
101.9 WLMG (relaying united info)
104.1 KHEV (relaying united info)

590 ????? (relaying united broadcasting info)
800 ? (dead carrier-unknown if WSHO)
870 WWL (relaying united info)
1540 KGLA (regular braodcasting)

Other than WASO 730, no broadcast heard from St.Tammany at this time

In baton Rouge, all stations operated by Citadel are still broadcasting Hurricane info, the CC and Guiaranty FM stations have apparently gone back to regular broadcasting.

In the Bayou area:

1430 KMRC is apparently braodcasting swamp pop again
1490 KJIN is broadcasting classic rock meant for KXOR (this is normally sports)
