I refuse to pay Comcast $15 a month to have other than broadcast news. On Monday, PBS carried the 4 hour session. Yesterday and today, it's no where.
I know how I can view it online, but many folks probably don't.
I remember when Clinton was impeached and it was televised on all stations.

More than 80% of Americans have a smart phone.
Many basic cable packages include several possible options.
The percentage of people who don't have cable and don't have a smart phone and don't have internet and don't have access to local or network stations with coverage is very small.

This can be watched on a computer, or through a streaming device - I watch through my Roku.

(48,976 posts)coverage because I was watching CNN and MSNBC then (was channel surfing the 3 major networks during the day to see how their anchors were covering the trial).
Today's coverage hasn't started yet, but when it does I have 6 local network affiliates I can check, in 3 different cities, to see whether they're all carrying the impeachment trial.
