It’s 03:29am and CBs4.com is the only local station site reporting Castro’s resignation as Cuba’s president. The time stamp on their report is 3:18am right now
Update: actually it’s NBC6.net reporting the news online first – published 03:04am as per their article date.
Not bad, someone at a forum I was reading posted a thread at 02:45am linking to a web site from Ghana. 7 has nothing online. 10 has a small link courtesy of CNN partnership.
Surprisingly there is no frenzy yet on TV, everyone has infomercials on!
Update: Insider says CBS4.com originally posted the Castro news at 02:57am, and had a TV report 93 minutes later at 4:30am.

NewsNet on NBC6.net is actually live on NBC 6 today due to the Castro resignation. I also think that the NewsNet has a new intro and NewsNet bug. I may be wrong, but just letting you know.

Actually, the anchor Balzac Jones out of Naples was the first to report Castro’s resignation at exactly 2:44 this morning. Balzac’s an up and coming anchor and I’m sure he’ll be in MIA in no time.

Is Balzac related to Carnac, or maybe Beldar?

I don’t care about some guy in Naples.
Naples isn’t even in the South Florida news market. Naples is in the Fort Myers market.
Kudos to TVJ.
