Since my workplace has not declared Tuesday to be a Day of Significant Importance, I’m going to be taping (that’s how we Tivo’d things when we all lived in caves) the inauguration. This means no channel surfing, no getting pissed at Katie again and switching channels, nothing. Plus, my local PBS affiliate won’t be interupting *Sesame Street *for the festivities. I’ve got one chance to get it right. So I’ll put it to board — which network is most likely to do the best job covering the inauguration, along with all the attending hoopla?
And I’m not watching Fox, I don’t care how many of you suggest it.
Hmmm . . . I dunno, the only thing that is going to actually interest me is the actual swearing in and the Inaugural Address. I’ll settle for any network for a recording of it - at least any network that stays shut up during it.
We’re going with NBC. We don’t have cable and we were pretty happy with their election night coverage. And this may be crazy, but my boyfriend thinks the color saturation is better on NBC.
I’m sure it will be streaming somewhere. My cable took a dirt nap this morning. Will I be able to watch it on the internet if HALF THE WORLD is doing the same thing?
The Democratic convention ran very smoothly and with very high quality online. CNN ran a lot of big speeches with minimal hitches.
I expect a few small hitches, but I think it’ll be handled fine.
