How much of this is due to the networks all but ignoring the convention, giving it just an hour or less each night?

That is all the networks can afford to give. For example, CBS is showing Big Brother which makes huge ratings and makes tons of money for CBS. The Republican Convention and the Democratic Convention do not make a dime for the networks so this is really a very good business decision. Plus with the other channels, the Networks should probably stop showing them all together.
