Cable and wireline services (combined):

223,937 subscribers out of service, down from 454,722 yesterday.  I assume this
only includes outages due to loss of outside plant and hub offices. It does not
included Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) outages due to loss of power at the
subscriber's premises.


Broadcast services:

21 FM radio stations reported out of service, with 2 FM radio stations
programming carried on another station

3 AM radio stations reported out of service

No TV stations reported out of service (I have seen twitter reports of at least
one TV station off the air)

Most broadcasters are not reporting (up or down).

463 cell sites out of service of 26,120 sites in all reporting counties.
