I'm actually curious if there will be any counterprogramming moves by cable networks or streaming services.

 

 

IIRC, AMC will be running the Rocky movies. BET will rerun the Obama farwell specials: "Love and Happiness" and the farewell gala from May.

any network air any counter-inauguration? any network airing the balls?

 

Comedy Central is running a South Park marathon all day. USA will also run an SVU marathon until 5:00 PM EST. Oxygen will run a marathon of Snapped from 7:00 am - 10:00 pm EST. That's all I know of ATM.

Now, how is that going to work with the CBS O&O MyNet affiliates (WSBK/WBFS)? :p

Seems like it's optional.

 

I can't see why non-O&O affiliates would carry it, especially if:

 

1) those stations, more often than not, don't have a news department...

2) the people who own the MyNet station don't own the market's respective Fox affiliate...

3) those affiliates would rather run their regular weekday fare, be it court shows, the Springer/Maury/Wilkos block or anything else...

is the fox network coverage level 1 or 2? and how many my network affiliates acutally carry fox news live events coverage?

 

the Fox O&Os that own the my network stations.

 

WDCA hasn't aired any form of national breaking news coverage since 9/11, when they were still owned by Viacom as a UPN affiliate and aired CBS News coverage w/ Dan Rather, while WUSA ran local coverage.

Oh god... they're truly the government network. They'll probably start at either 6:00 or 7:00 am with the Washington Journal.

And as always, they'll have the inauguration commentary-free.

 

But whatever; it'll be a HUGE day for Netflix and Hulu!

And so far, the only promo I've been seeing is for CBS's coverage.

 

But my estimate is that Trump's "inauguration" will be one of the lowest-rated ever, probably low enough to eclipse the 15.5 million who tuned in for George W. Bush's 2005 inauguration. This poses to be very good news...for the outlets not broadcasting it!

 

(The most-watched inauguration ever, by the way, was Ronald Reagan's in 1981 (41.8 million))
