Who is gonna setup up and cover this tropical storm

We all know 740 ktrh is not gonna give much coverage of tropical storm Humberto so who is gonna give the best coverage?
 
Great for Houston that Hurricane Humberto missed us (sorry High Island, Beaumont, Port Arthur, Louisiana, etc. for taking the brunt for us here) but for a while it was a real impending flood threat. I couldn't believe that at 6 P.M. on the night of the storm the KTRH news blurb on the hour just mentioned that there were numerous school closings (which I found out from TV at home including classes for some of University of Houston, TSU, etc., thereby affecting thousands of students) but that there were too many closings to say on the radio and so listeners should go to ktrh.com for the full list. That is not helpful to someone who may have been driving to class after work to stop and look at the internet to find out if class was still scheduled. That was disgraceful public service. At least the storm was kind enough to spare us...anyone listening to KTRH would have been very uniformed if it really had hit us. Sad because I really used to trust and depend on KTRH and remember listening to them for all the updates in the 11 days after Hurricane Alicia in 1983 it took before power was restored and we could see the TV news again.
 
My bet would be KTRH. My Uncle and his family down in Houston always tune to KTRH when they are down in corpus christi. I can even manage to pick it up in Dallas (Carrollton). I remember when Rita hit. I was tuned into KTRH almost every night that I went out bike riding. As far as TV I would have to go with either go with KRIV, KHOU and KPRC.

hope this helps !
 
I would have to choose KTRH. CCC has a fair amount of assets (people, equipment and facilities) at their direct disposal. Imagine having the ability to "IPOD" the entire cluster except for KTRH.
