My guess is that they learned their lesson. From what I understand (I didn't watch it) it was the lowest rated ever.

The TV folks probably figure the same for RNC and don't want to lose any MORE money.

Just a guess.

Sorry, that was supposed to say "DNC" was lowest rated ever.

Help me out here, folks.

I live in Massachusetts, and therefore assumed the DNC was on every station due to the local flair.

Was I wrong? Was in on the Big 3 major networks nationwide???

I know the RNC is only on the cable newsies, as it should be.

But are you suggesting that ABC, NBC and CBS are somehow playing favorites??

GASP!

Here is the answer to all questions great and bad regarding coverage!!!!!

DNC was allocated 3 total hours of coverage by ABC, NBC and CBS each and they will do the same for RNC as well, the good news channels Fox and MSNBC will give full coverage along with CNN! What more do you want? I watched Fox and MSNBC and took an occassional swipe at CNN.

Big 3 do not want to give full coverage anymore and they have to give equal hours of coverage to both!
