  I don't agree. First of all, it is WCBE that touts itself as
  "your true alternative."

  Second, what is wrong with broadcasting "EXACTLY the same thing
  that all 3 networks are also showing?" A convention of a major
  political party is certainly an event worthy of coverage.

  Third, I don't agree that they are broadcasting EXACTLY the same thing.
  Watch after 10pm, when Brokaw et. al. disappear. I'd much rather
  listen to David Gergen/Mark Shields/Robert MacNeil/Jim Lehrer than
  anyone on the Big 3 broadcast networks.
