Well I have watched plenty of presidential speeches in my lifetime. And Lou you are about it being replayed everywhere - they started right off on the local news, then on ABC's Nightline and now with DTV conversion I have 3 PBS choices - and 2 of the 3 re-aired the entirety of the speech at the same time last night. Plus there is the internet.
A word to us all - we better be careful or we'll get this nice little thread shut down for discussing politics
My biggest grip about the delay in Idol, is that my local FOX station is often broadcasting some college ball game and so they are already pushing Idol back to 10pm, after they of course get in their 1 hr news cast
-- so the inconvenience is huge
I'm hoping though the DTV conversion will help this in the future , as last night, the ABC station who has a contract with another university to air BB games creatively moved the game to their 2nd station, while keeping Obama's speech on the regular network channel. I hope the FOX station will start doing this - although right now they are showing 2 channels, but both are showing the exact same programming at the same time.
Does anyone else have a FOX station pre-empting regular programming for more local things like games?
