Tricked out with GPS radar, Wi-Fi, laptops and satellite links, storm chasers have "crowd-sourced" coverage of fast-moving disasters and are sharing the coverage online and over the airwaves.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Federal regulators want to do more to avoid TV signal blackouts caused by disputes over programming fees that pit broadcast television stations against cable companies and other pay TV operators. The Federal Communications Commission was set to vote today to launch a review of the federal rules that govern negotiations over the fees that cable, satellite and other video services pay TV stations to carry their signals in channel lineups. To supplement advertising revenue, broadcasters have begun demanding cash for signals they used to give away for free, and that contributes to rising cable bills.
