ABC stations on the West Coast had Biden on live at 5:00 pm, but the NBC stations had Trump delayed until 8:00 pm. People just watched Trump on the Internet instead of waiting for the delayed broadcast. As such, the TV ratings are meaningless.
Exactly. Everything that’s on TV is available on YouTube for people to watch at their leisure.
That’s why I don’t put much stock into TV advertising, there’s too many alternatives, and it’s easy to just switch off TV ads, and if they become too repetitive can work against the campaign.
