12:15PM: I haven't heard a commercial anywhere. There may be some... but I haven't heard any. A number of stations that don't have local news are carrying ABC Network TV news feed. Not sure why ABC instead of NBC, CBS, CNN (or anyone else for that matter).
Who's doing what:
WMCA: A discussion of hate radio (nothing to do with WTC)
WFAN: Simulcasting NBC TV Coverage
WOR: Local News and updates anchored by Joe Bartlett
WABC: Sliwa, Kuby, Hannity giving updates with George Weber and ABC Network News
WNYC: NPR Local News and discussion.
WCBS-AM: Local news, local reporters, some CBS News dropins.
WINS: Local news, local reporters.
WEVD: Simulcasting WABC
WBBR: Bloomberg reports
WLIB: Simulcasting ABC TV News (Peter Jennings)
WXRK: Playing music and incredibly assinie promos under the circumstances. The biggest disgrace on New York radio right now.
WFME: Religious programming...
WPLJ: Taking phone calls from distraught listeners with Scott and Todd still on the air
WQXR: Playing classical music.
WQHT: Talking about the tragedy and ABC Network TV audio.
WSKQ: Talking about the tragedy in Spanish
WRKS: Carrying ABC TV Network audio.
WBAI: Talking about the tragedy.
WHTZ: Carrying ABC TV Network audio.
WCBS-FM: Simulcasting WCBS-AM.
WQCD: Carrying ABC TV Network audio.
WNEW: Don and Mike doing a decent job anchoring coverage. Kudos.
WKTU: Simulcasting WLW in Cincinatti and local reports. Bill Lee and Goumba Johnny talking locally.
WAXQ: Carrying audio from WNBC Channel 4 News in New York (which does not have its primary transmitter since it was on the WTC).
WTJM: Also carrying audio from WNBC-TV.
WCAA: Local discussion in spanish
WLTW: Talking about the tragedy
WBLS: Carrying ABC Network TV audio
