FNC Hurricane Coverage and Program Changes

As you know by now, Fox News Channel, along with the other major cable news outlets, has been providing extensive coverage of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. On the day that the storm made landfall, FNC correspondent Steve Harrigan was literally hanging on for dear life in Gulfport, Mississippi. Many FNC correspondents, including anchorman Shep Smith, were reporting or anchoring news programming from New Orleans or other areas smashed by Katrina. Whatever major news stories, wherever and whenever, break out, Fox News can provide solid coverage.

On the programming front, Fox News has pulled the plug on two of its' weekend shows: After Hours with Cal Thomas (Saturday nights at 8:00 PM Pacific/ 11:00 PM Eastern Time) and Fox Magazine, hosted by Laurie Dhue (Sunday nights at 8:00 PM Pacific/11:00 PM Eastern Time). The series finales first aired on September 10 and September 11, respectively. Reruns of Heartland with John Kasich will move into the hour vacated by After Hours and repeats of Fox News Watch.
