Solution on page 2 CoverStory By Jay Bobbin © Zap2it Weeks and months of campaign battles, be- tween parties and within them, have all led to this. The Republicans and the Democrats are about to convene separately to confirm their nominees for November's presidential election, and it's clear that the path to getting there has been one of the most controversial in U.S. po- litical history. Television networks — both broad- cast and cable — will be present in force as the Republicans go first with their national convention in Cleveland from Monday to Thursday, July 18 to 21. Then, the Democrats have their turn in Philadel- phia the following Monday to Thursday. While PBS plans three hours of primetime cov- erage each evening in addition to its regular "NewsHour" program (check local listings), ABC, CBS and NBC all are scheduling nightly one-hour reports at the end of primetime. Cable news networks including CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC will offer fre- quent telecasts from the conventions during the relevant days. Others will pitch in, too: CBS' "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" will broadcast live (in the Eastern half of the coun- try) from its New York studio on all convention nights, and HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher" will do the same from Los Angeles on the Wednes- day and Thursday of each convention. Additionally, NBC's "Late Night With Seth Meyers" will go live on the concluding night of the Republican conven- tion. Though the delegates they've accrued have made Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton the presumptive presidential nominees of the Repub- lican and Democratic conventions respectively, John Dickerson — CBS News' political director and moderator of the network's venerable Sunday-morning pro- gram "Face the Nation" — reasons that the first event remains "a possibly moving story day-to-day. You'll have the question of demonstrators outside, who are almost certain to be there, and you'll have squabbles that are going on within the Republican party. There will be a lot of response to whatever Donald Trump puts forth, both from the Republicans and the Democrats, so you just source up to have a sense of what is hap- pening within the party as the convention is actually happening."
