“The stakes are high” for next Tuesday’s election coverage, Brooks Barnes writes in today’s WSJ. “Live coverage of national elections is a defining event for news organizations, and viewers, advertisers and cable and broadcast rivals will be watching closely to see how each handles the hot seat.”
More: “ABC, CBS and NBC have spent recent weeks conducting intense preparations for a relatively small amount of on-air coverage. Each network plans an hour-long live special at 10 p.m. EST, with another live broadcast on the West Coast at 10 p.m. PST, the same amount of time the networks dedicated to the last midterms.”
