Eat News 4745 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 North of the border, CBC and CTV are planning live coverage of the Inauguration starting at 11:00 am eastern. On the other side of the ocean, BBC and ITV will cover the Inauguration beginning at 16:00 (4:00 pm) local time. I would bet the international audience would be huge given the amount of fear of the Boogy Man. True or False... During the Reagan Inauguration jn 1981, The 3 networks ran a spit screen of Reagan taking the oath...and the freed US hostages boarding the plane to leave Iran at the same time....

False, they weren't released until after he took the oath and spoke.
Eat News 4745 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 False, they weren't released until after he took the oath and spoke. We have a winner!
NowBergen 717 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I'm sure there will be some not so nice anti media tweets when the Ego in Chief elect sees that this inauguration has the lowest ratings of any in recent memory. Thank goodness for movie channels, cable nostalgia channels and Netflix.

Thank goodness for movie channels, cable nostalgia channels and Netflix. I'm hopeful ratings won't be an issue that matters to the President. He was elected to run the country (and tweet) and not a TV network. The network news operations need to rebuild credibility right now, the President has no fear of the press...so the press should use this "time out" wisely.

Eat News 4745 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 but he proclaims himself the rating machine when he blasted Arnold for his Celebrity Apprentice ratings Very well then, As long as he keeps his ratings gloating to a few select overnight tweets; fine with me. Lets allow our President to focus on the really important things like a tax cut, beating terrorism and grabbing a little ass along the way. We don't need a perfect President...just a good one, if he want's to leer, ogle,party with Valad and the Ms. Universe models then fine.
Eat News 4745 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Trump will just call the Neilsen ratings rigged in a tweet anyway LOL!!! But they ARE rigged...ask just about any GSM in a down month.
rkolsen 1697 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Are any of the stations out west clearing the Morning shows early? I was looking and NBC is offering the Today show earlier to stations out west as it airs live in the east.
Drew 153 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Washington state NBC stations are not. KNDO-KNDU has in the past but not this time. Most of the ABC stations in WA are having heard anything about CBS. It's gonna be weird since this is the first time living on the East Coast for an inauguration everything is so late in the day now lol
TheRolyPoly 2655 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 When I checked KOMO's listings, their morning and midday news are pre-empted.
Drew 153 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Usually all the abcs go full network for inauguration.
TheRolyPoly 2655 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 I think at least the midday news for all ABC affiliates are pre-empted in favor of ABC News coverage because they'll be on LIVE (according to TV listings) from 7:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. ET / 4:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. PT across the country.

Eat News 4745 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 If we're (un)lucky enough we'll see another abrupt signal switch from their coverage to RT like earlier today. Бу́дет и на на́шей у́лице пра́здник.
Samantha 2906 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 don't the affiliates have the option to break away for noon news? The swearing-in itself takes place at noon, so the answer is quite clearly no.
kdex86 56 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 don't the affiliates have the option to break away for noon news? Funny, the program guide data for WBZ (CBS) in Boston lists "WBZ News" from 1 to 1:30, with Inauguration Coverage listed from 10 to 1, and 1:30 to 4. Meanwhile, the program guide data for WPRI in Providence (also a CBS station) lists "continuous" Inauguration Coverage from 10 to 4. So maybe CBS stations have the option to show local news at 1 PM, and the O&O's are doing so?

It's straight through all the way from 7am-4pm ET/4am-1pm PT with NO breaks for local news whatsoever.

BTW, KARE is joining NBC's coverage an hour later and leaving an hour early.

It's straight through all the way from 7am-4pm ET/4am-1pm PT with NO breaks for local news whatsoever. Really? Because on the local program guide, KSAT in San Antonio will broadcast local news from 6am-7am, then Good Morning America from 7-10am, followed by ABC news coverage, but then they will break away from ABC, for the local news at noon from 12-1pm. After that it will continue ABC coverage from 1-3pm. KVUE in Austin will run Good Morning America from 6am-10am and then ABC inauguration conerage from 10am-3pm. No local breaks whatsoever.

Well the majority of ABC's affiliates aren't taking any breaks whatsoever. I guess there are some few ones after all but the majority won't do anything.
24994J 5669 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 WLS in Chicago was showing up on my DVR as having local news from 6 to 7 tomorrow morning, but it was finally updated with the 4-hour GMA at 6 today, so maybe the cable providers are still catching up. As for WLS, they'll still offer local news in that hour, but only on their web platforms (so like 8 viewers).
newsbot 271 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 On a related matter, our local Sinclair station (WGME) opted not to carry Trump's dinnertime remarks today, while WCSH and WMTW (Tegna and Hearst, respectively) did.
