Why was Comey fired just before the evening news cycle rather than after 11 pm?

Trump couldn't have planned it worse as far as causing a news firestorm by announcing it just before all the news shows air. Could it be that something else is going on as well that could not wait?

9. Had to fire Comey before testifying congress closed session ... that's only timing I could come up

... with is that it stops Comey from saying or doing something during closed session congress hearing.
