Hurricane Sandy has been the subject of intense reporting by all major news media outlets.
CNN has reporters on site, interviewing law enforcement officials, shelter coordinators, and politicians such as New Jersey governor Chris Christie. The network is also showing videos made by residents of the affected areas, which show dramatic images of homes and businesses under assault from torrents of water pouring into buildings.
The Weather Channel has also made Sandy the focus of its coverage, maintaining live streaming coverage of the events surrounding storm-related events on its website. Hurricane and disaster experts are weighing in with their predictions for how long Sandy will continue to wreak havoc before finally breaking up.

The syndicated success of game shows Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy rages on with the announcement this week that both series have been renewed through the 2015-2016 television season. The news means that Wheel will last at least through 33 seasons and Jeopardy through its 32nd. What's more, they keep their much beloved hosts as both Pat Sajak and Vanna White have signed on to continue on Wheel while Alex Trebek has also agreed to remain as host, in spite of having suffered a heart attack only months ago.
I am happy for fans of the shows. They are both fairly intelligent gamers with affable hosts. As a member of the TV Generation, though, I must admit that I still have very fond memories for the earlier successful versions of both these programs.
