LA Gets Jipped by ABC--Lacks Motivation for Revenge

The Clinton/Obama debate tonight in Philadelphia at 8pm EST will not be broadcast on the west coast until 3-hours later.

And to make this all more annoying if you’re a political wonk – junkie – where waiting a whole three hours feels like millennia because it’s the internet age and now we’re super dramatic about time delays – ABC will not allow clips of more than 30-seconds on the internet until the next day.

Miffed, Patt Morrison wrote today:

Not only is ABC broadcasting the debate on time-delay to us here on the West Coast — making the debate far less important, evidently, than the Oscars, which get broadcast in real time everywhere in the world.
