In recent days, I've occasionally watched the live feed from KHOU, and I would say that those media people, especially the field reporters, have done an amazing work.

KHOU lost their studio on Sunday morning due to flooding, and they had to go off the air, but their live feed continued because sister station WFAA from Dallas filled in with their studio media people, but WFAA still had access to the KHOU field reporters for live updates from the Houston area.

KHOU came back on the air Sunday evening by using the studios at the Houston PBS station. But their signal would disappear at times due to rain fade from the heavy rainfall, but then WFAA would intervene again until KHOU was back on the air.

WFAA media people did a great job filling in on Sunday.

I probably watched too much of the KHOU live feed on Sunday and then again on Monday night and early this morning, but I have observed only extreme professionalism and class. I have not observed a single second of what could be considered politicizing.

That might be difference between local journalists who are reporting from the event versus national journalists, living hundreds of miles away who delude themselves into believing that they have the answers to everything.

Regarding hurricane Harvey and the aftermath in the Houston region, I have not watched any other news coverage except for KHOU and when WFAA substituted.

In my opinion, always stick with the local media orgs in events like this.
