Having worked with Belo at the time of Katrina, I knew the staff at WWL went through some herculean feats to stay on the air, broadcasting from a college in Baton Rouge if memory serves correctly, and publishing to their website remotely from all across the Gulf Coast. Belo sent crews from other stations and sites across the nation to help the WWL team stay on the air.
No one deserves a DuPont-Columbia more than those guys down in the Big Easy. (Note: I used to work at a Belo affiliate, now I work with the competition.)
