KTVA news room and studio heavily damage. Anchors and reporters standing outside in carparks reporting

KTVA is streaming live on FACEBOOK. This is incredible to watch. They are walking LIVE thru the damaged tv station.

Wow... even the cameras on peds have gone over, that takes a lot of lateral movement to do!

lost 2 ped camera on their upper studio. The autocue screens are broken after they fell over.. Very expensive. The coverage is streaming live on CBSN right now if you dont have FB.

They gave out the number of the tv station live on facebook and immediately people started calling KTVA and they picked up the call on air and woman hadnt hear from her daughter in the area. She wanted to know if they heard anything. So sad. they are trying. Incredible to watch.

here is another one. Never seen anything like this. They are doing a stellar job considering their staff is unable to get there. and immediately as they are filtering into the studio they begin to dispense information. And rather than go off air they are staying on and to be a calming voice. LIVE AFTERSHOCK.

The Main studio seems to be intact. Nervous about the structural element about the anchor desk. Not sure why they would add that in a place thats earthquake prone. You wouldnt see studio elements like that in an California, Oregon, Washington tv station. Odd.

They keep mentioning they are going to be on 360 North which is a statewide public tv network.

This is not current pic, this is what it looks like.

They just switched to the studio coverage. Without a operating news room. They are doing their jobs.

Watching the behind the scenes facebook live is fascinating. Also you see how the anchors are popping down under the desk everytime a aftershock happens is something. And then you seen the production staff just off their seats but their hands are still on the controls. Amazing.

Here is the live broadcast stream. The juxtaposition between both broadcasts is fascinating.

Those peds don't look particularly bottom heavy though, I have to say.

Anchors hiding under the desk during one of many aftershocks that are hitting great Anchorage.
