On ABC, Charlie Gibson will anchor a special one-hour edition of 20/20. George Stephanopoulos will provide political updates from St. Paul.
Katie Couric will anchor a one-hour special from Baton Rouge. Bob Schieffer will have updates St. Paul.
On NBC, Brian Williams is in New Orleans for their news special while Tom Brokaw will be in St. Paul.
