Perspective Beyond Black and White--MAR. 11--WUPL-TV General Manager and former Syracuse-area resident Gary Wordlaw appeared on CSPAN yesterday on a panel discussing local TV coverage of Hurricane Katrina. Wordlaw mentioned the devastating images seen around the country, but not in areas near New Orleans because there was no power. He recounted fleeing the area with his wife, but listening to non-stop radio coverage on WWL-AM as he was driving. "I fell in love with radio again," he said. "And I’m a TV guy." A question was posed about how coverage will continue. "Americans won’t get tired of this story," Wordlaw said. "America wants this area to come back not just because of Mardi Gras or the good time New Orleans represents. These are Americans," he said. "They are us."
