TV stations opt to offer wall-to-wall coverage of Ike | | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "Having weathered Hurricane Ike's onslaught alongside their viewers, news crews and technicians at Houston's network affiliates continued operating Sunday as, in the words of one station official, a public utility.

Officials at all four stations said they would evaluate wall-to-wall coverage over the next day or so based on developments, but would maintain stepped-up operations as Houston transitions from the storm to the recovery phase.

At Channel 2, news director Skip Valet was rotating crews on and off duty to cover what he described as the most challenging part of the story of Hurricane Ike."
