I'm not sure when or if any of these will switch over to regular programming but if you want to see the Japanese coverage you can use these links:

Most of Hawaii has been issued the all clear but it's doubtful that it will be a normal day in the 50th State plus they haven't assessed the damage (if any) yet. The West Coast is still in warning mode.

The aftershocks haven't stopped.

Meanwhile, people are anxious about the state of the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
