9NEWS Temporally drops WeatherNation TV to cover Hurricane Harvey

At Noon Mountain time Sunday August 27, 2017 9NEWS temporally dropped Weather Nation TV's coverage of Hurricane Harvey and started airing a live simulcast from sister stations WFAA-TV in Dallas & KHOU-TV in Houston of the aftermath & major flooding of the Houston Metro Area from Hurricane Harvey.

You can watch this simulcast on 9NEWS over the air on 9.2, Comcast 249, & CenturyLink Prism 10.

I Don't know how long KUSA will air the coverage from Houston, so catch it if you can.

TO EVERYONE IN HOUSTON, I HOPE YOU ALL CAN DRY OUT AND REBUILD QUICKLY.

Holly Gauntt has announced that she is leaving FOX31 & Colorado's Own channel 2, after two years at the stations, she is moving right across the street to 7NEWS, she will be replacing Lindsay Radford who left on June 3. 

KDVR & KWGN are waiting to see if a pending sale of the stations goes through. If it does the stations would then be owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc.   Sinclair is currently the largest owner of FOX Affiliates in the country.   Some staffers at KDVR & KWGN are worried about Sinclair's "Must Runs" because so much of that content is right leaning.
