Has MSNBC ever interrupt regularly scheduled program

[LiberalFighter]

for a regional broadcast involving severe weather?

1. That would be a good question for Malaise, DU's resident expert on msnBS.

6. First time I've seen it but I could be wrong n/t

[Shagbark Hickory]

9. I think they have. I remember them covering the weather quite a bit from back when I watched that ch

They just don't seem to do it on any kind of schedule. They were sending it over to weather channel peeps a lot.
Needless to say, if Sarah Palin or Rush L issued a statement earlier in the day, they aren't going to be cutting away from discussion and analysis of those statements.

11. OK Malaise...going to need a Tweety Update..

4. Rachel stayed on air one night

but i can't recall why......

[Drale]

5. I don't know but I see it this way

Really MSNBC is a political news channel, thats what they deal with most and if you have MSNBC you probably have the Weather channel and if you have the weather channel your probably watching that for weather. That being said, if you don't have cable and your in the area effected by these storms, your local stations are probably covering it.

7. Well, Katrina was regional. In fact, lots of hurricanes are

covered nationally.

[jwirr]

15. They are mentioned nationally but they are seldom covered much of

the day. I understand that they have had them on MSNBC for hours. Where I lived as a child in NW Iowa we had tornado warning almost every night in the summer. How much of this are they going to do?

[Suich]

8. Yes. n/t

10. I'm east of Tulsa and this is all heading our way

our oldest son was about two blocks from the one that hit Joplin.
Oh yes I am worried.

[Raine]

12. They probably did for Katrina

but I can't remember for sure. :shrug:

[jwirr]

14. I do not know but this has been a very different program. It reminds

me of listening to the local radio station when there was a tornado warning in our area. But I have never seen MSM chase tornadoes the way they did tonight. I am sorry for the people who were hit but there are thousands of tornado warnings across the country almost every day during the summer. They cannot cover them all like that or they will not have any time for other news.
