CNN’s Weekend Plans Include Exit Polls

By SteveK 

CNN announced their election weekend plans for the Puerto Rico primary as well as the DNC committee meeting on Saturday. From 9amET-6pmET on Saturday, CNN will broadcast “Decision Day,” anchored by Wolf Blitzer (who is joined by the BPTOT) and follow how the meeting affects the Democratic race.

On Sunday for the Puerto Rico primary, CNN will be the only network with exit poll results to report. The Hollywood Reporter reports CNN decided to pay the entire bill for the exit polling, which costs, “in the neighborhood of $100,000.”

CNN, Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS and the AP usually split the costs, but the other organizations decided in April not to pay for the service.
