Telecast schedule: All convention (or related) all the time from 7 a.m. EDT to midnight or 1 a.m. At night, it will be gavel-to-gavel coverage of what’s happening on the podium.
Network: Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network
Telecast schedule: The channel’s signature shows—from “Fox & Friends” at 6 a.m. EDT through Shepard Smith’s two shows and throughout the extended evening lineup of regularly scheduled programs—will originate live from both convention cities on Democratic and Republican convention nights. Mr. Business, Neil Cavuto, will be doing double duty, with “Your World” on FNC at its usual time and “Cavuto” on sister channel Fox Business Network at 6 p.m. with a live opening segment added for its 9 p.m. repeat.
Networks: NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo
Telecast schedules: 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday on NBC from both conventions. MSNBC starts 20-hour days with “Morning Joe” at 6 a.m. and continues through 2 a.m. Chief Washington correspondent John Harwood reports from Denver and St. Paul for CNBC throughout the convention days.
Network: PBS
Telecast schedule: 8-11 p.m. EDT (or through the close of convention activities) Monday through Thursday from both Denver and St. Paul.
Network: TV One
Telecast schedule: 8-11 p.m. each night of the Democratic convention, starting earlier depending on the scheduling of speeches. No coverage will be offered of the Republicans in St. Paul because it is deemed lacking the same import for TV One’s African American core audience.

Telecast schedule: The Spanish-language network will begin convention updates each day with its morning show, “Despierta America,” and continue through prime time. On Thursday night of both conventions, Univision will carry the acceptance speeches live and then return to its entertainment programming. Each convention night, “Noticiero Univision” and special editions of the late-night newscast “Noticiero Univision: Ultima Hora” will originate from inside the convention centers.
