Biz networks will be live on Labor Day

Chris Ariens of TVNewser reports Sunday that both business networks, CNBC and the Fox Business Network, will be live on Labor Day due to Hurricane Gustav even though the markets are closed.

Ariens writes, “CNBC will be live tomorrow with international programs at 4amET and will begin U.S. coverage at 7am running until 6pmET and is calling its coverage, ‘America’s Oil Crisis: Hurricane Gustav.’ CNBC’s Scott Cohn and Mary Thompson report live on the ground, where preparations are underway ahead of the storm.

“Fox Business will be live from 5am-7pmET, or later if need be. Alexis Glick is in New Orleans and correspondent Jeff Flock, who spent years reporting on hurricanes with CNN, will be near landfall in Louisiana. Neil Cavuto remains at the RNC with heavy Gustav coverage.”
