For a few minutes, right before 5pm CDT, WDSU was (accidentally, I would imagine) streaming a Channel 5 in some market that was showing "Oprah". Someone realized what was going on, and the stream showed the TV channel being changed back to WDSU. (i.e. you could see what was happening on the TV as the person changing the channel was pushing the buttons on the remote control.)

This has happened several times this morning and afternoon as I've watched. I think it's someone at WESH or it may be a timer problem with the TV capture interface. The Channel 5 was an Oklahoma sister station on their interstation WAN.
If you're curious about the different areas affected by the storm in total, here are some direct TV streaming links for you all:
WSVN [Miami] mms://216.242.118.141/broadband
WDSU [New Orleans] mms://a842.l1291238841.c12912.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/842/12912/v0001/reflector:38841
WWL [New Orleans] mms://eyenet.wm.llnwd.net/eyenet_livenews1
WKRG [Mobile/Pensacola] mms://eyenet.wm.llnwd.net/eyenet_livenews2

CBS has stopped feeding WWL via its national website - people have to go back to the old feed via WWL's own site (and it has some rebuffering problems).
Earlier today, things got very interesting with the WWL signal. It became evident that WWL's New Orleans studio feed was sent to the transmitter site via a CBS News satellite transponder. The secondary studio at LSU must have a different transmission path (microwave relay?) to the transmitter.
Earlier today, WWL attempted to return control from LSU to the New Orleans studio via the CBS satellite transponder. That lasted a few minutes before the feed was switched to John Roberts practicing his lines for a story feed back to NY. For about two minutes, viewers across WWL's coverage area got to watch Roberts until WWL engineers realized what was happening and quickly returned to coverage anchored from LSU. Those folks blamed in on storm damage in New Orleans, when it fact it was more likely CBS's own uplink engineers somewhere else.
