Storm coverage on radio

Did anyone do any extensive coverage of the watches and warnings last night? I scanned the dial and heard nothing, other than a couple of FM stations mention it briefly between songs. WREC should have been all over this or at least simulcasted what 24/30 was doing.

What did you hear?

FM 100 simulcast with TV-5 during the height of the storms. Thought that was a good move on their part.<P ID="signature">______________

I thought I heard WREC simulcasting 24/30.

I just posted this in the Ark. board before I saw this thread....

I was able to listen to 2 of the 3 at times as the storm hit Marmaduke and I have to have between the 2 radio groups from J'boro I can hear in Memphis Triple FM hands down gave the best coverage.

Coverage on the 3 and on at least 2 of the CC stations I heard was pretty much wall to wall for a time.

CC was simulcasting coverage in KIYS and KFIN. I was unable to hear any others om the cluster up there.

Both groups should be commended for stepping to the plate and serving the way they did sunday afternoon & evening.

The reason I felt the coverage was better on 1 group over the other the triple fm group had callers on the air live giving real time coverage and it was the fastest most accurate info.

Also noteworthy as I believe I have before meantioned is the E. Ark B'casters group.
KWYN Am/Fm,KCJF, & KTRQ
Though 103.9 was dead for a bit eventually it was plugged in the the simulcast.
Cross county residents are lucky to have guys like this who jump and run the the stations and get out the information. I have turned them on numerous times when the weather was acting up to the west.

My heart and prayers go out to those who have gone through such a terrible event as the people in N/E Ark, West TN, and the Boothill have had to face. Those were some of the worst supercell tornado spawning storms that have rolled through in a good while and they will be remembered for a long time I am afraid.
