Stormageddon '09: It's not Channel 58's fault
Channel 58 -- usually the last of Milwaukee's four TV news outlets to go weather-crazy -- was wall-to-wall with weather coverage tonight after problems with CBS network programming.
Anchor Michele McCormack told viewers the problem was related to the weather. At around 7:50 p.m., the network feed resumed briefly, although it cut out a few times.
"Don't blame us, folks, it's CBS in New York that's having a little problem in getting us their network programming," she said.
The CBS station filled the programing gap with weather information before things went back to normal.
UPDATE: Problems continued with the network feed into the 8 p.m. hour.
