I can see no good reason why all three networks have to carry the
debates.  Do you get ABC but not NBC or CBS in your area?  Maybe
someone is just afraid more people will watch the football game than
the debates.  If that is what they choose to watch, I say let them.

As for the Inauguration, no where in the constitution does it say that
it has to be televised at all.  If it is, I as sure it will still have
a large share of the TV audience.  No one should HAVE to watch it 
because nothing else is on.  Personally, I applaud the independent
stations which didn't carry the conventions.
