How will TV handle the conventions?

Cable News/Talk Channels will be all over conventions. Broadcast networks and their App divisions like CBSN, and ABC News Now probably go wall to wall on conventions on their app feeds.

So will the Fox News & CNN apps (CNN is also seen on Sling TV for us cord cutters :D )

In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if NBC News puts MSNBC coverage on ITS app as well as on Pluto TV (Which only carries news clips from its website now)

I also wouldn't surprise me if the local Philly & Cleveland stations put their own local coverage on THEIR apps either (Especially the Cleveland stations with all the Trump HOOLIGANS that'll be there)

Cheers & 73 :)

C-Span will just set up their cameras, walk away and let us watch the play by play antics unfiltered.

With the Trump hooligans in Cleveland, that would be the smart (If not LIFE PRESERVING) thing to do :rolleyes:

Cheers & 73 :D

The question isn't who will carry the conventions...the question is who will watch. They can hold a party, but that doesn't mean anyone will come.

Aside from political news junkies ?? Not many

Even I plan to skip the WEEK LONG Trump Informercial disguised as the RNC Convention :D

Cheers & 73 :D
 
Trump hooligans are going to be the least of the convention's problems. Every anarchist, socialist, Maoist, comminist, BLM, etc, etc anti-Trump protestor that Soros can stuff into a bus will be there burning the city to the ground

I have a feeling Trump will get screwed in Cleveland the same way as Bret Hart in Montreal.

As for the Democratic convention in Philadelphia? It will be a cakewalk, and since a number of celebrities will be on hand (like Eva Longoria at the 2012 convention), expect Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, E! News, Inside Edition, etc. renting out skyboxes themselves along with the usual mainstream media.

No. They'll just send reporters

As for the celebs, I'm sure many will attend (But don't forget Trump has HIS Hollywood friends too. As such, I'd expect celebs to be a BOTH conventions) :)

Cheers & 73 :D
 
I decided that next week I will just do what I usually do--tape everything and watch it when I get time, letting me read as many newspapers as possible. I've got a lot of catching up to do.

I chose CBS. Then I discovered they weren't airing any of the convention. Really? I chose NBC instead.

I hope I've already made clear that you pay for all the channels or none of the channels and all the channels just cost too much.

Hear, hear.
 
I didn't think about this until I read next week's TV listings, but PBS seems to be doing the full three house each night. But I don't have time for all that.
