1. PBS is covering the proceedings commercial free.

2. At least (unlike network tv) they are staying on impeachment throughout.

Yes, the commercials are jarring, but they have been limited.

I like hearing from Nicolle and panel when they go to break, so I put up with it. But, PBS (and of course, c-span) are running without ads.

3. Remember the Leslie Monves theory.

Trump might be bad for the country, but he is great for ratings and advertising.

4. Apparently there are financial/commercial issues.

C-Span is available, without interruption.

[kentuck]

7. I like the people on MSNBC...

...but I prefer to hear all the questions and answers. It just seems very greedy.

[elleng]

9. i like them too, a lot, and look forward to 'coffee' and dinner breaks.

Like it or not, it's the system we live with.

THANKS for c-span.

5. You do know that Nicole Wallace and other show hosts don't control that.

The network sells advertising to support itself. The advertisers pay for the network to place the ads at various times in the day. They have a contract to do that. And yes, it really is necessary because that's how the broadcast is made possible. With money. Like it or not.

[kentuck]

8. Yeah, we don't want to see them on food stamps.

If other networks can do it, then so can they, in my opinion.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Other networks don't do it unless they are PBS or C-SPAN,

that is, supported by sources other than advertising. Don't like the ads? Watch PBS or C-SPAN.

[TheRealNorth]

14. Exactly

From what I have seen in the evening, they try to cut away when there is downtime.

[kentuck]

15. CNN has not gone to a commercial as I have watched??

I haven't checked FOX. I would expect them to go commercial.

[Stallion]

6. I Change the Channel every time they do

10. Kinda proves the lie

of "liberal media bias", doesn't it?

[Midnight Writer]

12. C-Span 2

[Dennis Donovan]

13. I switched to C-Span2

While I appreciate that they break away during the defense's arguments , I really want to hear the whole thing if I'm listening to it at all.

[kentuck]

16. Exactly!

Maybe it's a trivial matter?

[bdamomma]

20. I give you credit

for listening. Last night every time when those lawyers got up I was getting tired of listening to lies, I hope they get disbarred.

[Sherman A1]

17. why anyone would watch M$NBC is beyond me

when PBS & C-Span are easily available.

[kentuck]

19. Nicolle Wallace is my favorite news interpreter.

I just would rather watch the answers than watch an ad.
