Mueller to Draw Broadcast Crowd

NBC News coverage begins at 8:15 a.m. and will continue through the afternoon, covering both sessions of testimony. Anchoring the coverage are NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt, NBC News chief legal correspondent (and Today show co-anchor) Savannah Guthrie, and Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd, according to the network.

Fox stations will have access to Fox News Channel's coverage, also beginning at 8:15 (FNC is preempting Fox & Friends, a presidential favorite, for the testimony). FNC's coverage will be anchored by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, with contributions from Chris Wallace and Juan Williams, among others.

ABC News will also be providing live coverage, anchored by George Stephanopoulos from New York and beginning at 8:30 a.m.

World News Tonight anchor David Muir will report from D.C., with assists from Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas, Senior Correspondent Mary Bruce, and Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl, among others.

New CBS Evening News anchor Norah O'Donnell will anchor that network's coverage, which begins at 8:15 a.m.

Joining O’Donnell for the special, branded "HIGH STAKES AND HISTORY," will be CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett; chief Congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes; White House correspondent Paula Reid; and Justice and Homeland Security correspondent Jeff Pegues.


C-SPAN, the suite of public affairs networks funded by the cable industry, will be providing its usual wall-to-wall coverage of the hearings and any post-hearing press conferences by the relevant parties.

C-SPAN's coverage will begin at 7 a.m. on Wednesday with Washington Journal. The hearing will air live on C-SPAN3, C-SPAN Radio and C-SPAN.org.

For those who need a refresher, C-SPAN also has audio and text versions of the entire Mueller report available online.

PBS will also have live coverage (me)

The President said Monday (July 22) he had no plans to be among the likely millions tuning-in to the testimony. “I’m not going to be watching Mueller," he said. "[W]e had a total no-collusion finding.”

jealous. Mueller's ratings might be high. It's Mueller Time . . . .

People need to hear him. Exposure.

I hope Mueller does not give a advance copy of his statement to Barr. Barr is a criminal.

I would think Rachel Maddow, Brian Williams, Ari Melber, Nicole Wallace, etc. would love to host this. Why in the world Chuck flipping Todd?

Wide coverage so it will reach a large audience. Now it's starting to resemble Watergate.

Barr completely took the wind out of Mueller's findings. Perhaps tomorrow will change that.

Encouraging... We need to be on our toes, though. Sounds like the world will be watching. I want a slam-dunk! Or the next best thing, whatever that is...
