Previewing WDSU’s Fat Tuesday Coverage
WDSU has a huge production planned for Fat Tuesday. It all begins at 4:30 a.m. with Randi Rousseau, Jay Galle’ and Rose Flores on WDSU News This Morning. Norman Robinson, Mardi Gras Guide Arthur Hardy and I pick up the coverage at 7 a.m. from the Hotel Intercontinental downtown. WDSU reporters will be stationed across the city to bring home every aspect of the climax of the Carnival season during the most extensive coverage in town.
We’ll be live on the air and online at WDSU.com until 3 p.m.
I’ll also be updating Facebook, Twitter and this website all day from our perch at Intercontinental.
Here’s a preview:

Promo Shoot
Promo shoots are always fun…especially when the promo people talk about anchors looking lovingly at each other. Sometimes we exaggerate and one of said promo people captures the moment.

Behind the Scenes: Ida Coverage
Camille Whitworth and Me
We were in storm mode yesterday, spending all day and night covering Tropical Storm Ida. From what I could tell (I was on the set most of the time), we provided a lot more coverage than any other TV station in New Orleans. I’ve covered plenty of tropical storms and hurricanes, but this was my first time working storm coverage with the gang at WDSU. Obviously, they had been through this drill before. It was like a well-oiled machine. The reporters in the field did great work and I felt like we provided excellent news and weather information from the studio. Ida wasn’t a major weather event, but it was a great test run for local parishes; a mild, late-season storm to test safety improvements and protocols put into place since Hurricanes Katrina and Gustav.
Kudos to the WDSU News team on a great job.
Here are a few behind the scenes pics from yesterday’s coverage:
