"In Tidewater Virginia, Sinclair Communications' talk WNIS (790) was planning to simulcast at least on one sister station (variety hits "93.7 Bob FM" WNOB). WNIS, however, warned that its studios are in downtown Norfolk "right on the Elizabeth River" and it was coming over the boardwalk ("although we are on generator and also on the 5th floor")."
Throughout Saturday, I had been listening online to WNIS' coverage of the storm, which had started at 10 AM and lasted a good twelve hours. Not only did the hosts primarily simulcast with 93.7 Bob-FM for most of the time (i.e. while 93.7 Bob-FM was on the air) but they also had commented that, should those stations lose power, they'd also be heard on sister stations 96X, US 106.1, and even Funny 850. I will add that, in addition to WNIS, I also sampled the Bob-FM stream and, even though WNIS was anchoring Sinclair's coverage, at one point, Bob-FM's stream was ahead of WNIS' by a good five minutes or so... that may be a weather-related issue, I'm not sure. But they spent most of the day providing information to, and taking calls from, listeners in the Tidewater area.
