TYNDALL HEADLINE: HIGHLIGHTS FROM APRIL 15, 2011
All three network news divisions sought outside help when weather came calling as Story of the Day. A line of tornadoes marched across the southeast from Oklahoma through Arkansas to Mississippi and Alabama. The twisters were the lead on all three newscasts, including stormchasing streamed video from TornadoVideos.net. CBS turned to field reports from KTHV and KWTV, its affiliates in Arkansas and Oklahoma. ABC, with substitute anchor David Muir, sought out the meteorologist at WABC-TV and a field reporter at KATV-TV in Arkansas. NBC turned to the Weather Channel, its corporate sibling cable news network.
