Cable news will largely go with its regularly scheduled primetime programming on Monday while incorporating updates on Hurricane Sandy.

CNN will air Erin Burnett OutFront, Anderson Cooper 360 and Piers Morgan Tonight as planned, with Burnett and Cooper reporting from the field in New York for their shows and PMT. CNN will stay with live coverage overnight until an undetermined time on Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on the storm's path.

MSNBC will feature its regular hosts in primetime with Chris Jansing anchoring special live coverage of storm developments throughout the night from 11 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. ET on Tuesday.

On Fox News, Hannity will air as normal at 9 p.m. but the rest of the primetime schedule will be adjusted for storm coverage. TV Newser has the full lineup here.
