Despite breaking the bank covering the extended Primary, the big three networks don't seem to be cutting back on covering the convention. It seems all three are looking to one up each other in coverage.
ABC News appears to be looking to dominate convention coverage. All of its daily broadcasts; Good Morning America, World News, Nightline and This Week will originate from Denver. ABC News NOW, ABC’s 24-hour network, will provide wall-to-wall coverage.
NBC Nightly News will broadcast all week from the Pepsi Center and from Invesco Field along with Matt Lauer and Ann Curry covering for the Today Show from August 28-29. Their news affiliate, MSNBC, is planning 20 hours of coverage daily. Live coverage will air from 5:00p to midnight with Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews handling the anchor duties.
CBS has Katie Couric anchoring the news from Denver all week, as well as Harry Smith anchoring for The Early Show. Face the Nation will air on the Sunday before the convention.
