Hurricane Coverage
During coverage of major hurricanes affecting the state (as has happened with Hurricanes Katrina and Gustav), LPB's Baton Rouge facilities are used by New Orleans CBS affiliate WWL-TV (Channel 4) as a backup studio to provide additional news coverage from the station inland, and act as the station's main set should WWL be unable to broadcast from their Rampart Street facilities in New Orleans. As part of this agreement, WWL's coverage airs across the entire LPB network to provide a statewide conduit for news and information from a well-established news organization.
