Yeah, thats what I am thinking. That, and some staff, undoubtedly may have perished in the storm. Under any account, I dont think anyone should be rushing the staff of any N.O radio station, to get back to work, just yet. There are no advertisers, no listeners, Besides that, at least N.O still has Dance Music, simulcasted from Diva 103 in Baton Rouge.
