Oddly, where I live, the only major networks to carry live the Tuscon memorial:

PBS and FOX. Who would have thunk it? CBS, ABC, NBC...nothing.

I do not have cable, only free over the air tv.

1. It is on everything here in Phoenix. eom

10. So what's REALLY going on out there -- if you live in or near Tuscon?

I remember when a pro athlete in the San Diego area was shot by a policeman. The local DU-ers were immediately able to call bullshit on the cop's story because he was WAY out of his jursidiction!

14. We're an hour and a half away from Tucson.

I know as much as you do.

2. Only on cable news outlets and FOX "News" [sic] Channel in NYC

3. Is the Fox a local affiliate? nt

[elocs]

6. Yes, it is a local FOX affiliate, but the local CBS & ABC stations are carrying regular programming.

FOX was really the surprise, not PBS.

[gateley]

12. Well I'm glad you found it! Our local Fox affiliate is kind of more "local" than

the other three - don't quite know how to explain it. Maybe not as BIG as the other networks?

[Lint Head]

4. They want to raise up the killer Jan Brewer.

[MadBadger]

5. I think the rest will interrupt for Obama

[elocs]

7. Yep, the other networks just switched to the memorial.

It seems kind of mercenary on their part though to hold off until this point. After all, FOX here only has 2 hours of prime time programming and was giving it all up.

8. cbs just cut in to carry obama - I felt it should be private and not televised

[GoCubsGo]

11. NBC, too.

[gateley]

13. Gabby's husband is there and was the first to give Obama a standing O, so I think

he's appreciative.

And really, it doesn't matter what we feel (we're on both sides of this) but if it's healing to the families who lost loved ones and to the community.

9. Fox is doing it so they can critique it more effectively
