Share via

CNN is planning nearly round-the-clock coverage of the Democratic and Republican national conventions. Here’s a look at what some other networks have in store:

ABC: Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos will co-anchor coverage during the 10 p.m. hour during both the Democratic and GOP conventions. In addition, ABC News is teaming with Yahoo to offer more than 30 hours of streaming coverage online. ABC will also tap a recent deal with Spanish-language broadcaster Univision for news content aimed at Latino viewers.

CBS: A one-hour nightly wrap-up will be anchored by Scott Pelley, joined by “Face the Nation’s” Bob Schieffer and “CBS This Morning” co-host Norah O’Donnell. Correspondent Bill Whitaker will report from Tampa at the GOP confab, while Byron Pitts will walk the floor in Charlotte with Democratic delegates.

NBC/MSNBC: Brian Williams will anchor nightly reports from both Tampa and Charlotte, with an assist from his “Nightly News” predecessor and mentor, Tom Brokaw. “Today” and NBCNews.com will offer additional coverage. MSNBC is planning about 20 hours per day worth of coverage.
