Do you have the amount of time each network covered the Democratic Convention each night? If so we could do a comparison of time spent on each convention. I wonder who will have received the most coverage.
There are exact figures somewhere. In addition, the networks decide what they think is "newsworthy" (A.K.A suits their agenda) and broadcasts that.

NBC, CBS and ABC devoted about an hour on each of three nights (M,W and R) starting at 10:00 for the DNC.
I believe that they are expected to provide the same coverage to the RNC on (T,W and R).
Fox, WB and UPN did not show any of the DNC and are not planning any coverage of the RNC.
The broadcast networks covered three nights of the DNC. They were dark on Tuesday night. They were scheduled for an hour a night, 10-11 Eastern, but went long due to the lenght of the speeches. They covered the Clintons on Monday, didn't show Te-ray-zuh or Teddy on Tuesday, covered Edwards on Wednesday and of course Kerry on Thursday.
