The enemedia can fill the time with reruns of bammy sotu addresses or aoc splaining economics while break dancing....
Even if the network say no, local stations can air. I would bet every Sinclair station (193 outlets across the country in nearly 80 markets) will. So, will several other local broadcasters. 70 or 80% will see the broadcast even if the networks choose not to air.
“aoc splaining economics while break dancing...”
One of the dirty little secrets that Dems have to conceal, is that AOC can no more break dance than any other preppy, pampered Westchester County nerd. She is about as white bread as they come, and will have to be coached in black (and Latino) speech patterns as would Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren.
