‘Law’s’ back
The reality series “Louisiana Law” has returned to Animal Planet for a second season.
The show airs at 8 p.m. Sundays and “follows the men and women of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries as they patrol one of the most geographically diverse states in the U.S.,” according to the series synopsis. “With the authority to enforce all fish and wildlife laws in addition to state and federal criminal laws, the wildlife agents of Louisiana are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, often patrolling alone and miles from backup. Audiences will travel deep into the woods and bayous with these wildlife agents as they encounter perilous situations that affect wildlife and citizens alike, all in the name of conservation.”
In Sunday’s episode, “Stalking Bears,” wildlife department biologists deal with Black Bear cubs and their protective mama bear.
LPB’s Moreau honored
The Louisiana Association of Broadcasters presented Louisiana Public Broadcasting’s André Moreau with its Lifetime Achievement Award March 24.
A Louisiana native, Moreau has spent the past five years as the co-anchor and Managing Editor of LPB’s “Louisiana: The State We’re In,” Louisiana’s only statewide news magazine. Moreau has been in television broadcasting for 40 years.
While at LPB, Moreau has received recognition for his coverage of hurricanes Laura and Ida, including post-storm follow-up specials.
“In my own small way, I hope I have brought into focus what is important to and special about our state. It’s home and always will be,” says Moreau.
