Viewers may have to do a little hunting or channel-surfing if they want to watch tonight’s controversial address to the nation from President Donald Trump.
ABC and NBC will opt to stream Trump’s speech at 9 pm EST on their streaming platforms, rather than carry it live on their networks. ABC says that it will broadcast a special report when the speech concludes.
“ABC News will run President Trump’s speech on ABC News Live and ABC News Radio with comprehensive, anchored coverage,” an ABC News spokesperson says. “We will also cover the speech in our regular network newscasts and, as always, our Special Report team is fully prepared to break into network programming to deliver live updates and reporting should significant developments occur.”
Spokespeople for CBS News and Fox News had not responded to a request for comment, as of this writing.

“”Like who watches them anyway?””””
True. Even though I am old I hardly ever watch network tv.
20 minutes of commercials per hour. And the shows suck. With netflix, hulu etc there are far more choices.
We new the steal was bad, but wow.
Clinton/Obama/Biden request an hour to publicly announce their bowel movements and the networks are there an hour ahead of time with complimentary toilet paper.
I did some checking earlier and it will air live on NewsMax and looks like Fox will too.
“ABC says that it will broadcast a special report when the speech concludes”
Right to AOC rebuttal? FOAD
Yeah, especially CNN’s “license”, right?
Dumbassery continues.
Cowards and reprobates! What do you bet they’ll report on it, though, cutting and pasting, slanting and embroidering.
AOC asked them not to... So apparently they kowtow to AOC. Good to know.
How could China possibly have any incentive to have Mr. Potato Head as POTUS. Moreover, what could Mr. Potato Head possibly gain?
That’s what Steve Bannon said on his afternoon “War Room” podcast....pull their licenses.
Why? This is old media. Everyone can watch it or hear it over the Internet. Just sayin...
You say what I wrote.
“NBC, ABC and CNN Won’t Carry Trump Primetime Election Speech”
.
I bet they will find the time to trash it for a week afterwards.

Good little communist propagandists.
They are perfectly free to censor and moderate whatever they wish. The fact they do in this case merely shows their true colors.
Censorship in the classic, unconstitutional sense, would the government using color of law to make these delinquent cover what they wish not to cover.
They did show current events. But don’t believe they showed them discussing information from six years ago.
Yeah, and more entertaining as well - same with AM radio talk shows .... fifteen commercials spanning five minutes before the hour and five minutes after ... then there’s the half-hour break ....
