CBS and ABC will carry Thursday's 1/6 Committee Hearing

[brooklynite]

(other networks may as well but haven't updated their program directories)

[liberalla]

1. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[hlthe2b]

2. Yup. Already set the DVR, just in case I can't get home in time.

[Novara]

3. Excellent. Thank you for letting us know!

[Karadeniz]

4. Now I'm going to engrave that in stone... can't wait!!!!

[Hekate]

5. KICK

[Captain Zero]

6. I heard it said that MSNBC will cover it live.

I was worried it might only be them.

[Rebl2]

11. Same here

[CloudWatcher]

7. Pundit free zone

Thanks, but I'll hold out for a pundit-free steam. My tolerance for idiots and commercials has basically bottomed out at zero.

Not 100% sure this will work, but I have hopes:

15. C-SPAN will likely cover the hearings.

[Eyeball_Kid]

25. Sometimes punditry is helpful.

Usually the flap jaw occurs on breaks determined by the proceedings, coupled with ads. I may not have CSPAN on my streaming service. Sounds like a peaceful option.

8. What time of day please?

[chowder66]

9. 8 pm eastern. Primetime.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Looked ahead at my local listings and the ABC and CBS affiliates have it scheduled at 8-10 ET

The NBC affiliate still has Law & Order, but obviously that could change. Thanks for the info!

[Evolve Dammit]

12. Any ideas as to why they limited the number of hearings and wouldn't follow the evidence?

[mcar]

19. ???

wouldn't follow the evidence? What are you talking about?

[Evolve Dammit]

21. By limiting the number of hearings. ie. ending the "presentation" without leaving it open if needed.

Is that clearer?

[mcar]

23. They already know the story they are going to tell

They don't need to leave it open. These hearings/witnesses are set and done. Nothing new will come out of this. It's to let the public know what they know.

[Evolve Dammit]

28. So what happens with ever-evolving new information from whoever? Doesn't seem intelligent.

[Cozmo]

13. Maybe CBS can get their very own Mick Mulvaney to run commentary on the hearings

[orleans]

24. i went from chuckle-chuckle

to grrr in under two seconds

but your comment was good

[ashredux]

14. A ratings bonanza

[SergeStorms]

16. I'd like to think so, but....

you know.......Americans. We can only get about 60% of our citizens to vote (2020 was a record turnout in the modern area at 66%), and how many of those 60% are going to sacrifice their prime-time viewing hours for something they don't really care about anyway?

It's a sad state of affairs when your country's people don't care about an attempted coup of their government.

Political junkies like us will eat it up, but unfortunately we're in the minority.

[Wednesdays]

20. At least it's being broadcast far and wide

And there will be plenty of highlights repeated on the news...few will be able to simply ignore that.

[SergeStorms]

26. Again, I hope so.

But I never underestimate the ability of the American people to ignore important events happening right before their eyes.

After 73 years I've become quite cynical about the American people. After all, they somehow managed to elect Donald Trump as president.

[spanone]

17. K&R

[mcar]

18. I imagine CNN, MSNBC, and PBS will as well

[Sogo]

22. Is this an evening replay of what went on that day,

like with the Watergate hearings?

If so, what time is it happening during the day?

[NewsCenter28]

27. Nope it's all live

The first and last hearings are specifically set to be held live in prime time to maximize attention, which is brilliant. Now, if only Merrick Garland would show that he cares about Jan. 6 as much as the select committee does.

[nolabear]

29. FANTASTIC! Regular folks need to see this.

And it gives it the gravity it deserves as well.

[nolabear]

30. Anyone know the starting time? Being Left Coast is a pain sometimes.

I’ve gotten up at 6 am to watch many an East Coast event. Biden’s speech the other night was at 5pm here. People weren’t home from work!
