Title: Hurricane Week: Extreme Impact
Post by: Anistorm on August 10, 2009, 02:20:51 PM: This week it's HURRICANE WEEK: EXTREME IMPACT. The programming schedule is pretty much the same thing as the "Without Mercy" week back in June. The 8 PM hour of WC and the 2 AM hour of WC will be replaced with long form.

Also. According to my guide, there's an old special going to air at 8:30 ET; called "In His Own Words: Brian Williams on Hurricane Katrina". NBC's Brian Williams tells his side of the story on Hurricane Katrina. It says it's first aired in 2005 so I'm assuming it's not new.

That documentary confirmed my worst fears on how miserable it was for those people in New Orleans after Katrina. :no: I thought the show did a great job as well, Joseph.
