Regarding overnight, it was not Lukwesa, but Lucy Grey who was on air. Interestingly, the BBC decided not to go into the rolling news mode, devoting significant (10 mins) chunks of the half-hour bulletins to the earthquake, but retaining other news stories, as well as pre-recorded back of the hour shows.
Also, CNN had its correspondent, Jomana Karadsheh, live in Istanbul (which is considerably far away from where the earthquake had occurred). BBC had local journalists via videoconference + Azadeh Moshiri in the studio with the updates.
UPD. Around 6:45 AM ET CNNI opted out of CNN This Morning, with Max Foster in London anchoring and Jomana Karadsheh once again in Istanbul.

UPD2. The opt-out turned out to be rather short, after around 5 minutes or so Max threw it back to CNN This Morning over a break.
