“This is one time when all the networks pull together,” says Phil Alongi, executive producer of NBC News special coverage, referring to presidential funeral coverage.
The Hollywood Reporter notes the pool assignments:
“CBS is the pool network for the motorcade and Andrews Air Force Base, where the casket was flown to Saturday and due to be flown out of Tuesday. NBC is the pool for the Capitol, ABC for the Washington National Cathedral and Fox News Channel handles the pool for the initial viewing in California and the burial in Grand Rapids. CNN is the overall pool producer.”
