The networks have chosen to cover very little of the convention. I am now curious to see how the public has reacted to this. Does anyone have access to information regarding the audience share for the cable shows that carried the convention last night verses the audience share for the networks programming? It would also be interesting to know how this compares to regular news days. I would appreciate it if someone would post this information when available or suggest how I can obtain this information.

I was wondering the same thing. I watched Fox the whole evening but changed over to the big three just to see what was going on. No coverage at all. Now I would like to see if Fox had a really high attendance and the big three were down. Hope someone posts such results. Please "ping" me if someone finds this out.

Screw the networks! Even if you don't have cable, just watch the darn thing on PBS. PBS is a private corporation funded by us, the American people! Support Jim Lehrer! LOLOL

Watched it on C-SPAN1. It was great, there were no idiot commentators trying to tell me what I was hearing.

Watched it last night on VOOM channel 999.
Full time coverage, no talking heads, and in full HDTV!

I saw these figures posted @ Drudge for Monday night's convention (which Networks did not cover Convention @ all!): FOXNEWS = 3,868,000 VIEWERS BETWEEN 8-11:30 PM ET MONDAY [VIEWERSHIP HITS 4,616,000 DURING RUDY SPEECH]; CNN = 1,262,000 VIEWERS; MSNBC = 854,000... does anyone know how these compare to other days (non-convention)?
Last night: network TV did carry First Lady & Calif Gov's speeches, for which I was grateful...PBS is actually carrying more than Networks!!
