      WWL TV New Orleans is broadcasting out of temporary studios at 
Baton Rouge Louisiana (LSU PBS station) and occasionally out of a 
makeshift studio at their transmitter site and is being rebroadcast 
in the Houston Texas area on Time Warner Cable channel 76.  A couple 
of hours ago one of WWL's on-the-air staff mentioned in passing 
during one of their many helicopter segments that it was his 
understanding there were "two AWACS" covering the New Orleans area.
