TV BLACKOUT OF MAJOR DISASTER

A disater directly affecting a quarter of a million people is blacked out in SoCal. Five raging fires and no TV coverage at all other than FOX cable which is not availble to millions right here in town. The only thing we know is that five fires are raging, 400 homes have been burned somewhere, electricity is down somewhere, the fires rage from Ventura to San Diego. We know nothing about specific location because the FOX guy is not from LA and doesn't know the area. This is disgraceful and you ought to consider the ramifications of any disaster in your town. A fire has broken out close to my daughter's house, a house that is unattended right now, and we have no way of knowing the situation. What would happen under other circumstances? A terror attack? A huge earthquake?

What we have is LABOR UNION TV. Triple time on Sunday for entire union crews is simply not in the cards for small local stations. What every community must consider is mandatory crews for at least one local station. This could be your city right now. WE ARE BLACKED OUT. We don't know what is going on other than 400 homes are gone as of an hour ago.Late addLocal TV started coverage at about 1PM, full 30 hours after three of the largest had been burning. It's even worse than I thought. 700 homes gone now.
