New England stations are in scramble mode to cover the story of the man who allegedly has a bomb strapped to him who’s holding workers at Sen. Clinton’s office in Rochester, NH hostage. 

As of 3:30, WCVB has live video, though the tension is severely hampered by a 30-second pre-roll for paint. 

WFXT has a chopper above the scene, as does WHDH. 

Local New Hampshire station WMUR has a slide show, and WBZ has text.
