(Inauguration coverage will be onscreen & online)
Networks hope to reach out to those who'll have computer, but no TV In all their planning to cover Barack Obama's inauguration as the nation's 44th president, television networks have paid particular attention to those who will be near a computer, not a TV.
NEW YORK - In all their planning to cover Barack Obama's inauguration as the nation's 44th president, television networks have paid particular attention to people who must spend their day in front of a computer.
There are a lot of people who are going to be captivated by the entire day, and a lot of them are not going to be able to have a television set in the office, or have access to a television. People are just trying to figure out the blend right now, Everyone knows that there's something there, and this is an interesting step in the evolution. If you look at this moment in eight or 10 years it will be interesting to see what panned out and what went nowhere.
None of this means the networks are shortchanging their television plans. Like Election Night, a presidential inauguration is an event that has been in the planning for a long time and brings out the "A" team. It's even more so now, as Obama's installation as president caps a campaign that drew extraordinary interest from viewers.
The online coverage has a much higher priority than it has in the past. For a news division, it is the gift that keeps on giving.
