RNC nets more airtime than DNC

Tipping the scales

Cable news channels dedicate more coverage to RNC's scheduled programming during peak hours than to DNC's

Summary: On September 2 and September 3, MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News each dedicated more on-air time -- significantly more in most cases -- to official Republican convention programming during the most-watched portions of their coverage than each channel dedicated to official convention programming during the same times on comparable nights of the Democratic National Convention.

RNC speeches and promotional videos appeared to be give uninterrupted coverage. The difference was obvious to the casual observer.

5. Is that a disadvantage or advantage for us?

Might be an advantage the more exposure they get considering the negatives of the Republican Party.
