Er, the Fox network took the feed from FoxNews and did their own graphics on top of it. They blew up the baseball pregame to cover the speech, and went to Atlanta just in time for the first pitch.

One day later...

Thanks for the "correction"! We clicked on Fox network, and it sure looked like the baseball game was imminent, as was the speech, which we didn't want to miss, so we went to Fox News, with minor "surfing" to just check which networks were airing it...must've missed checking Fox network the second time around (I did figure we either missed something, or it was another local decision, as Brit Hume was so convinced Fox had it...!!)

I am curious as to the number of local stations picking up on the coverage...we had ABC, NBC, and apparently Fox, 8:00 DST (a.k.a. "prime time") despite the "national network" decisions to leave it "optional"...rumor is, the "nationals" didn't want to be obligated to offering "equal time" to the "opposition", heheHE!!

Main thing is, it was an important speech, very well said, and fortunately was apparently more widely broadcast than one might have expected. It's not the best news one could wish for, but it's better to realize these things sooner rather than later (to sort of paraphrase the President)...

Freegards!
