Eat News 4745 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Why so early in the year? Because Donald Trump told the White House to "Move it up or else". There is no mandated date for the address...but it's usually in late January...but the WH can move it if they wish.

mre29 1537 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Actually, it's Congress that decides the date. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14883-sotu-16-network-coverage/#findComment-143139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvnewsfan63 0 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hope this is OK for the thread....but I noticed briefly that Brian Williams wasn't on MSNBC...at least from what I saw which was a few moments of Chris Matthews introducing guests. Again, I didn't see more than a small slice of the coverage, so if I missed something, let me know. I thought he would be anchoring, as this most assuredly would qualify as a "special event", and isn't he the anchor for "special events and breaking news?" Again, if I missed something, feel free to correct the record.....no offense taken. Plus wondering if he'll be anchoring MSNBC Election Coverage.
